1a.
Nimbed and feathered seraph standing
with hands raised wearing a scarf. The wheel on which it
probably originally stood is above its head. The background
consists mainly of relieved hawthorn diaper, disarranged but
probably original. White and pot-yellow with trace-line, matt
wash and relieving. c.1300 – c.1320. Figure complete, but the
top left wing is cracked; a little paint loss; background diaper
has been re-arranged and cut to fit the present opening. At the
base are some fragments: part of a
13th-c stiff-leaf grisaille roundel with cross-hatching and a
pot-yellow palmette border; some 15th-c rod-and-leaf border;
part of a 15th-c floral wreath; and a piece of larger relieved
vine leaf. Light to medium external corrosion with some paint
loss. The panel has non-ventilated sheet-glass double glazing on
the outside.
