This print showcases an exquisite detail from the crozier of William of Wykeham, a prominent figure in medieval England. The image features an angel gracefully playing a small shawm, a woodwind instrument popular during that era. Crafted by the English School in the 14th century, this panel is made of silver gilt and adorned with intricate champleve enamel work. The total height of this remarkable artwork measures 206 cm, making it an impressive display of gothic metalwork. It is courtesy of the esteemed Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, who have graciously allowed its reproduction for public enjoyment. The angel's delicate fingers dance across the keys as enchanting melodies fill the air. This mesmerizing scene transports us back to a time when music was not only revered but also considered divine. As we gaze upon this ancient artefact, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our world today. William of Wykeham himself was not only known for his role as Lord Chancellor but also as Bishop of Winchester. His crozier symbolizes his authority and influence during his lifetime. This print captures both the beauty and historical significance embodied within this extraordinary piece. It serves as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship throughout centuries past – a true treasure preserved for generations to come.
