He is represented with horns on top of his head. The horns came about because of an ambiguity of the Latin version of Exodus 34, 30.

His face was seen to shine with a divine light. (The first Moses with horns was commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb; it was based on a description in chapter 34 of Exodus in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time).

    Beautiful, early 1800s, wooden sculpture of a Holy Mary with child Jesus on her arm.
