A rare late 14th/early 15th century carved oak 'roof angel', Norfolk, circa 1400


The face serene and rendered with almond-shaped eyes, long straight nose and small mouth, the angel wearing pleated robes, and holding a ciborium, or lidded chalice, 24.5cm wide x 7cm deep x 56cm high, (9 1/2in wide x 2 1/2in deep x 22in high)
|Very similar to roof angels found in the church of St. Peter, Swainsthorpe, Norfolk, which has been much-restored, but was largely built in the 14th century.
