Bird quarry. 15th century. Anonymous artist (English?) Original location unknown Medieval quarries - small lozenge-shaped panes of glass - were the simplest form of stained glass, using only glass-paint and a little yellow stain. They were made in their thousands and were often decorated with amusing motifs, frequently, like this one, with subjects that mocked human activities. This devout little bird is carrying a rosary. Other small medieval fragments have been used to make up the borders. Inv. No. 1997/3 Purchased
