From the 15th century the Theotokos or Virgin Mary, with or with her Child, became increasingly popular, using versions of a number of common Byzantine types, typically flanked by two archangels in iconic depictions. She is often depicted with a neighbouring image of a mounted Saint George and the Dragon, who in Ethiopian Christianity is regarded as especially linked to Mary, for carrying messages or intervening in human affairs on her behalf.
