A finely painted stained glass panel fragment illustrating the Presentation in the Temple. The composition centres on a bearded priest in a cowled robe holding the Christ Child, who sits on a cloth-draped altar. To the left, a male attendant presents a single dove, while the hands of another figure—likely the Virgin—are visible in the foreground. The priest’s mantle is rendered with fine linear detail, and his belt bears a mounting ring, flask, and sword. The background features a patterned textile hanging and a stylised foliate design in warm yellow stain and brown enamel. Set within a later lead frame fitted with suspension loop.
Provenance:
From the collection of the Phillips family, owners of John Hardman & Co., Birmingham (metalsmiths and stained glass fabricators), founded 1838.
