UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
The present reconstruction of the front of Duccio's Maestà is based on that by John White, with added, largely hypothetical frame. The missing central panels are: the Assumption (?), the Coronation of the Virgin (?), and the Blessing Redeemer (?). The placing of the surviving pinnaclea small turret-like architectural feature, often richly ornamented, that crowns parapets, pediments above windows or doors, flying buttresses, spires, tec. angels is hypothetical.
