Topcliffe 1391" Description of Rubbing: He is on the left and she is on the right they are both facing forward. They are both wearing tunics and mantles and have their hands in prayer. His tunic has a decorative edge on the bottom and is shorter. He is also wearing bracelets. Her tunic is plain and her sleeves widen at the hands with a row of buttons. He has a lion at his feet facing right and she has a dog with a collar with bells on facing left at her feet. They both have cushions behind their heads being held by angels with outstretched wings at the top. The background is filled with flowing patterns and they are surrounded by tabernacle work with angels playing musical instruments.
