Description
A finely executed pair of early 16th-century oak portrait panels, each carved in low relief with a male profile bust enclosed within a laurel wreath, the backgrounds enriched with scrollwork, grotesque masks and classical ornament. One figure wears a close-fitting arming coif; the other a crested Roman-style helmet, both reflecting the humanist fascination with antiquity that defined the Renaissance style in Tudor England.
