Unknownlate 15th and early 16th century

The J. Paul Getty Museum

The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States

This ensemble is composed of quarries (small panes of uncolored glass, usually diamond-shaped, with central motifs) from different windows joined with new elements. The three quarries in the center – one with a pair of unidentified elements tied by a cord, one with a crowned R, and one with a crowned IHC (monogram for Christ) – are flanked by others with decorative flower heads. The eight half-quarries at the corners are modern.
