EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the head and crook of the crozier belonging to William of Wykeham, a prominent figure from the 14th century. Crafted by an English School artist, this medieval artifact is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and artistic skill. The silver gilt Paul side of the crozier stands tall at an impressive height of 206 cm, commanding attention with its ornate design. The delicate relief work depicts angels and saints in stunning enamel, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to this religious symbol. As we delve into the image, our eyes are drawn to the octagonal castellated castle finials that adorn each corner. These gothic metalwork elements add a sense of grandeur and majesty to the overall composition. William of Wykeham's significant role as both bishop of Winchester and lord chancellor is reflected in this remarkable piece. Musical instruments coil around his crosse, symbolizing his influence in ecclesiastical matters as well as his patronage towards music. With its rich historical significance and breathtaking artistry, this print transports us back in time to appreciate not only William's legacy but also the incredible talent behind creating such masterpieces. Courtesy of New College Oxford, this extraordinary relic continues to inspire awe and admiration for centuries-old craftsmanship.
