The hilts of the seven swords piercing her chest are visible on the decorations and embroidery on the Virgin's tunic.

... piercing HER chest... Here the subject is “the Virgin”. The detail is of the embroidery on the Virgin's tunic. It must represent her pain before what is happening to her Son. It could refer to Christ, but the wording would be different.

Yes "his" chest is fine . The hilts are just embroidered, one of the decorations.

I think my phone's corrector has followed me here. I tried to write sword and it kept coming out as awards!

whose chest then? I thought it was Christ's but I don't know. Has the Virgin been pierced by swords?
