Virgin and Child with attendants - Thenford Northamptonshire

This carved pew-end panel, from Thenford, Northamptonshire, dates to the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century (c.1580–1625) and belongs to the tradition of figurative church woodwork produced in England after the Reformation. Executed in shallow relief and enclosed within a moulded rectangular frame, the panel presents a compact and emblematic sacred image rather than a narrative scene.
