About This Piece
An armoured warrior fills a tall plaque beneath a shaped crest. The close-up emphasizes the helmet, shield-like armour details and broad sweeping folds at the lower edge.
Carving details and what to examine
The framing is part of the composition, so examine its relationship to the central motif as well as the motif itself. Edge and angled views help show whether the border is raised, recessed or simply outlined, and make the transitions into the main surface easier to assess.
