See EMM01/01/046A for the top half of this window. A handwritten note on the index card for this painting reads: 'A variant of the 'Lily Crucifixions' which were popular in the mid to late 15th century. The idea of the Cross springing from the Lily of the Anunciation is entirely English, and only 9 examples are now known. The underlying thought is to link together the whole earthly life of our Lord as one redemptive act.' A stitched version of the whole drawing is available on the digital archive as EMM01/01/046.
