It is decorated with classical motifs and would have been regarded as a novelty when first installed.<br><br><b>Time</b><br>The decoration of the panel is similar to that of surviving panelled rooms from Boughton Malherbe, Kent, and Waltham Abbey, Essex, which date from about 1520 until 1540. Profiled heads, derived from classical medallions and coins, and classical candelabra were  widely used as decoration in Britain from about 1520. These motifs were frequently carved by German or Netherlandish craftsmen, who often found employment in Britain at this time.","physicalDescription":"Panel of oak, carved with a male head in profile within a wreath; above is a child's mask between two leafy scrolls terminating in cornucopiae, and below are two spandrels filled in with leaves.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"oak","id":"AAT12264"}],"techniques":[{"text":"carving","id":"AAT53149"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Carved oak","categories":[{"text":"Woodwork","id":"THES48877"},{"text":"Portraits","id":"THES48906"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2006AL7326","2017JT2089"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"123 (VA)","id":"THES49217"},"free":"","case":"CA10","shelf":"","box":"3"},{"current":{"text":"B","id":"THES304820"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Panel","id":""}],[{"text":"Frame","id":"AAT189814"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1530-1540","earliest":"1530-01-01","latest":"1540-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"33.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"25.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Measured; 14/01/1999 by jc","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Bought from: Charles H.

Vol. I (London, 1922), Fig. 40. pp.30-31\r\nThe introduction of the Italian Renaissance ornament dates almost from the commencement ofthe sixteenth century, but its first important expression is in the tomb of Henry VII in Westminster Abbey, the work of Pietro Torrigiano, - or Peter Torrisany as he is styled in the documents of the time, - who was commissioned for the work by the dead King's son, in 1509-17. That this was the first real expression of the Renaissance in England is doubtful; the intercourse with France, although intermittent, has been too frequent for it to be necessary  for aking to introduce the new style into this country... Figs. 40 to 43 show this early sixteenth- century Renaissance feeling at its best...These panels were evidently made for enclosing in grooved framing, as on the first two the sight markings are clearly visible."}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"British Galleries:\nThis panel was part of a collection of carved woodwork owned by Charles Marshall (1847- 1907), a solicitor and artist from East Retford, Nottinghamshire.
