Description
Notes on the Parchment: "Agnes, widow of Sir John Cheynes knight and of Wsmund Molyneux, her second husband, 1484. Two figures under canopies, man in plate armour having finial beads and pinnacle, are pinnacle missing."
Description of Rubbing: There are 2 figures within this parchment.
On the left is a man who is in plate armor with his hands praying. He is wearing a full helmet in a bascinet style with his face exposed, full regalia including gauntlets, vambraces, cuirass, bainbergs, sollerts and rowel spurs. There is a leaf vein pattern over his boots and he is standing on a mound that looks like the body of an animal with the feet and body facing the left. The head looks to be uncaptured and would be above his left foot.
The figure on the right is a woman in a long gown with a cape and hood. There are pleats and folds within the skirt and her hands are praying. The edges of her cape have details in the front. She has no feet showing but she is on a small mound. They are both facing forward.
