A.148 to 159-1922).  The Apostles would have stood in a line just below the rood (a large figure of the crucified Christ).  Each figure is identified by the inscription on his scroll and by a specific attribute, or symbol. Here St Jude carries his emblem of an oar.\r\n\r\nThe carving of alabaster, mostly quarried in Tutbury and Chellaston near Nottingham, took on industrial proportions in England between the middle of the 14th and the early 16th centuries. The market for altarpieces and smaller devotional images was a large one. It included not only religious foundations but also the merchant classes. Many hundreds of English alabasters were exported, some as far afield as Iceland and Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain.\r\nAlabaster - a form of gypsum - is a comparatively soft material and is therefore easy to carve. It can also be polished. Its natural colour was especially useful for the representation of faces and flesh, which would normally remain unpainted. ","physicalDescription":"The panel has a plain border on each vertical side, and a base showing three facets in front. The haloed figure of St. Jude, with a forked beard and wearing a gown and a cloak draped from the left shoulder, holds an oar in his left hand. In his right he holds a painted scroll (reading downwards) with the phrase of the Creed: 'Carnis resurrectionem' (the resurrection of the body).\r\n\r\nThe top of the panel is chipped. The upper background is gilt with traces of gesso knobs. The green foreground is decorated with the usual daisy pattern. Red paint remains in the lining of the saint's cloak. The halo has wavy green lines separated by red spots. Sprigs on the inscription are red. The hair and beard of the saint, the borders of his robe and cloak and the sprigs that decorate them are gilt. Details of the eyes are painted. The oar is light brown. The back of the panel bears two lead-plugged holes with latten wires attached.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"alabaster","id":"AAT11101"},{"text":"paint","id":"AAT15029"},{"text":"gilt","id":"x30367"}],"techniques":[{"text":"carving","id":"AAT53149"},{"text":"painting","id":"x30598"},{"text":"gilding","id":"AAT53789"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Carved, painted and gilt alabaster","categories":[{"text":"Christianity","id":"THES48978"},{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"},{"text":"Sculpture","id":"THES48896"}],"styles":[{"text":"Medieval","id":"AAT20756"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"SCP","id":"THES48600"},"images":["2006AH3722","2006AG9759","2006AG9758","2006AF4133","2017KE1169"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"111","id":"THES49918"},"free":"","case":"CA7","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1440-1460","earliest":"1440-01-01","latest":"1460-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"A.148-1922","id":"O84680"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.149:1-1922","id":"O71552"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.149:2-1922","id":"O71552"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.149:3-1922","id":"O71552"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.150-1922","id":"O84681"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.151-1922","id":"O84683"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.152-1922","id":"O84684"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.153-1922","id":"O71580"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.154-1922","id":"O71583"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.155-1922","id":"O84685"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.156-1922","id":"O71589"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.157-1922","id":"O71593"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"A.159-1922","id":"O84686"},"association":"Set"}],"creditLine":"Given by Art Fund","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"45.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"14.8","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"From Cheetham, <font -u>English Medieval Alabasters</font -u>, 1984.","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"From a church either in the town of Zamora in Spain or in the province of Zamora.
