Duccio's Maesta


                                                            The Central pinnacle:
The Assumption of the Virgin and The Coronation of the Virgin.

This section is missing. General opinion is that it featured the above elements. but this is, well, an assumption.  It is based on good evidence though, including a description from the fifteenth century by Ghiberti. 
   The fragment below, from the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, is widely considered to be part of the missing panel.
