EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent brass memorial, dating back to the early 15th century, is a stunning example of English craftsmanship and the opulence of the late medieval period. Discovered in Digswell Church, Hertfordshire, the monumental brass depicts a woman dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. The woman's wide, padded headdress is adorned with a veil, which would have been a symbol of her marital status or religious devotion. The houppelande, a long, flowing gown, is cinched at the waist and features a turned-down collar, adding an elegant touch to the ensemble. The long funnel sleeves, which are gathered at the shoulders and tapered towards the wrist, are a distinctive feature of the period. Beneath the houppelande, the kirtle sleeves are visible, indicating the layered nature of medieval clothing. The brass also features intricate decorative elements, including Templar crosses and bosses, which suggest a connection to the Knights Templar. The woman's hands are folded in prayer, and a hedgehog, a common motif in medieval art, is depicted at her feet. This brass is a testament to the intricacy and beauty of medieval costume, as well as the religious beliefs and social customs of the time.
