Sra del Rosario or a del Carmen.  Very seldom does she come in other forms.  \nThe 17th-century Jesuit church in Makati has  a venerated image of the Virgen de la Rosa (Virgin  of the Rose) that was as famous then as the image of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y de Buen Viaje (Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage) venerated in Antipolo.  The two were even depicted in an 18th century engraving together with the Virgen de la Naval of the Dominicans and the Virgen de la Consolacion of the Augustinians.  At one time, according to an early friar chronicle, the Virgen de la Rosa had a reliquary in her torso that held believed strands of the Virgin Mary’s hair.  Sadly,  devotion to the Virgen de la Rosa has declined, and many people are not even aware that she is still there  in the Church of San Pedro in Makati.\nThis statue of the Nuestra Senora de la Rosa is,  therefore, very rare.  It depicts the Blessed Virgin and the Child Jesus, their heads and hands carved from ivory and attached to a mannequin of baticuling wood.  Both images are dressed in satin embroidered with gold thread and wear wigs of human hair.  The Virgin wears a veil, as well, and has a silver-gilt crown and a halo with twelve stars, one of her attributes.  She holds a bunch of cloth roses in her right hand and stands on a peana or base of baticuling wood beautifully carved with acanthus leaves and heavily gilded.    \nThe image is placed inside a magnificent kamagong urna or tabernacle in the form of a retable with a domed alcove on a plinth.  The latter is appliquéd with pierced foliate carvings entirely covered with gold  leaf that makes a contrast with the dark kamagong background.  The depressed arched opening of the alcove is flanked by a Corinthian column on the  chamfered corner on either side.  The side panels at the rear are appliquéd with a Corinthian capital and truncated shaft supported by a large acanthus leaf console, the capitals and consoles gilded.  The sides of the altar are decorated with a carved and pierced foliate garland entirely covered with gold leaf.\nThe urna is surmounted by a segmented half-dome topped with a gilded sunburst emanating from a roundel of clouds.  A triangle with an All-Seeing Eye, signifying God the Father, is at the center of the roundel.  This type of urna with profuse gilded decoration is typical of 1870s work, when progress brought about by the opening of the Suez Canal was expressed in ostentatious and lavish use of gold leaf on church and household furnishing.\n -Martin I.
