King
Museum number: 6D-1881
Figure of a King with both arms extended sideways.
Champagne-Ardenne, France (possibly)
This panel depicting an Old Testament king, and nine others in the museum's collections (Mus.nos. 5-5E-1881 and 6-6C-1881), formed part of different 'Jesse Tree' windows. It was believed that this panel came from the Sainte Chapelle in Paris. This chapel was restored in the 19th century and some of the medieval windows were removed. Also possibly Troyes Cathedral.
