EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the head and crook of the crozier belonging to William of Wykeham, a prominent figure in medieval England. Crafted by an unknown English artist during the 14th century, this silver gilt masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 206 cm. The photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate element of this historical artifact. The Peter side, adorned with relief and enamel work, exudes a sense of grandeur and elegance. Its octagonal castellated castle design reflects the Gothic metalwork prevalent during that era. William of Wykeham's significance is further emphasized by his roles as both a saint and lord chancellor. As Bishop of Winchester, he wielded immense power and influence within the church hierarchy. The coil-like structure leading up to the finial adds another layer of complexity to this remarkable piece. It symbolizes authority and spiritual guidance associated with bishops. Courtesy of New College, Oxford, we are granted access to this extraordinary relic from medieval times. Its preservation serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. Through Bridgeman Images' expert photography, we can now marvel at this exceptional artwork without any commercial intent but rather for its historical value alone. This image invites us into a world where craftsmanship meets spirituality—an exquisite blend that continues to inspire awe even centuries later.
