Monumental brass of an unknown bishop, Medieval, c1375-c1400. Fragment of a monumental brass with the head of an unknown bishop within an ornate architectural canopy. His mitre and the hook of his crosier are studded with jewels and depicted with great attention to detail. The crosier contains the Agnus Dei (the Lamb of God), the symbol of St John the Baptist, who may be the bishop's patron saint. Above the bishop, his soul is represented by a naked, mitred figure which is being received by Abraham in a length of cloth. To the left and right are angels with candles and the figures of St Peter (left), St Paul (right), and probably St John the Evangelist (far left) and another male saint with a sword, possibly St Matthew. The brass comes from Flanders, or possibly France.
