Anyone else think she needs an iPhone (or similar device) in that hand?
Exactly what I thought when I first saw it, too. In fact, the scan file rounds off the cross, so it does look like a cellphone. I call it "Sleepy Girl Checks her Texts", since it looks like she just woke up with the sheets still wrapped around her.
Until I looked closer I actually thought she held one.

An interesting anachronism. One could interpret it as either that technology is replacing our religion/beliefs or better that one could think of it as a proof that humans where in a specific sense incomplete before the invention of smart-phones. But oh wait AR glasses are coming.
