The image and the sanctuary

No verifiable data on the concrete image (size, material, author, period, style) of "Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Ciudad Altamirano" in the indicated Colombian location, or about its own iconography (if it is a dress image, full size, relief, painting, etc.). In the general context of the Assumption of the Virgin, representations often show Mary raised to heaven, many times over clouds and angels, but in this particular case no consta a specific description of the image linked to a temple in "Ciudad Altamirano, Colombia."

Similarly, no consta the official name or canonical rank of a sanctuary or temple (cathedral, parish, diocesan or national sanctuary, minor basilica) in Colombia dedicated to this advocation, in the records consulted.
