The scene in the superstructure of the Marienaltar in the Herrgottskirche in Creglingen by Tilman Riemenschneider is the crowning of the Virgin. Angels lower the crown of heaven onto Mary in the presence of God the Father and God the Son. God the Holy Spirit flies higher in the form of a dove above the statue of Christ Man of Sorrows at the top of the altar.
