The mural is divided into the Joyful Mysteries above and the Sorrowful Mysteries below. Within this very complex and intricately designed space is packed some incredibly wonderful pieces of art. I am sorry I can't show you any of the detail here as there are no images available that I know of.

There is the slightly better image of the lower half -- the Sorrowful Mysteries. Studies related to this are grouped there.
