From her right hand extends a scroll with the blackletter text 'ancilla/ d(omi)ni', across which flies a dove along the rays of a glory. On the desk is an open book and in front of it a pot of lilies. The scene is set against a seaweed-diaper screen with a ruby background at the top. Trace-line, matt wash, relieving. White, pot-blue, and flashed-ruby glass, with yellow stain. c.1460 – c.1470. Top and bottom parts of the original panel gone, intrusions of medieval glass in the screen and prie-dieu. Made up with fragments to fill the main light, including a scroll similar to that in the Annunciation panel, with Gabriel’s greeting to the Virgin on it: 'Ave gratia p /lena d[illegible] ', presumably from the lost companion panel with Gabriel. Also rod-and-leaf border, a piece with another lily-pot on a pedestal, a painted quarry, micro-architecture, and part of a beard (all mid-15th-c), and a piece of vine leaf (14th-c). Around these is a border made up of further fragments, including 14th-c white vine leaf and green foliage, border with relieved lozenge-and-quatrefoil pattern, border with relieved lozenge-and-circle pattern (all 14th-c), and blue glass with relieved plants and yellow stain, pieces of heraldic border with the arms of Wilby (Sable a fess dancetty between three escallops argent), and plain blue glass (all 15th-c).
