Description

Heraldic stained glass
About 1510

These fragments of a window are closely related to the heraldic glass made for the side aisles of Henry VII's chapel at Westminster Abbey, London. Most of this glass was later destroyed. Emblems of the Tudor dynasty also decorated the bronze doors and stone sculpture of the chapel. The hawthorn bush with a crown recalls Henry VII's victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

Clear glass, painted with yellow stain and brown enamel
Made in England
Museum nos. 1247:1 and 2-1855
