Description
Wife of Sir John de Northwood
Notes on the Parchment: on back top it says "Minster LGE woman"
Description of Rubbing: She is facing forward with her hands in prayer. She has a large intricate head dress on with designs throughout and braids along the side of her head.
Her dress has embroidery throughout. She has bracelets on and large sleeves with detailed edging. There is a large section of fabric that is pulled to her left side that acts like a wrap with many folds and also has a detailed edge.
There is a dog at her feet looking up to her as if it were angry and barking with a collar with bells on. The head is looking up at her from the left. No feet are showing. WS is on her neck.
