I am with a group of people in a large building. We are on the top floor looking out into an atrium that reaches from the ground floor to the roof. We are to be shown a sacred object. The object is suspended before us in the atrium. It is like a large ornament that would be hung on a Christmas tree. It seems to be the figure of a young boy in ceremonial dress; it is golden and jewel encrusted. A man describes the object and then says the viewing is over. I see other features on the back of the ornament and ask the man why he hasn't talked about them. He denies they are there. I take the object and show the others what I see. One thing is the head of a king wearing a crown and the other is a dove. Including the boy, this makes three features but for me there is a fourth thing and that is their matrix, the space they are suspended in. The matrix is the numinous thing; it is a great height or a great depth depending on your perspective and also the quality of the light.
