I'd say there's a difference between
"...Catholics depict Mary as sitting between the horns of a bull"
and
"standing"
"horns/moon shape"

"standing on/between"?
Am I "between" the carpet or the floor?

And of course, in the instance of Juan-Diego's tilma we do not attribute the depiction to ourselves.

But in any event,

And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
Revelation12:1

As I recall, when Hillary Clinton saw the tilma, she asked who painted it.
