Tracery Arcade from the Great South Window of Canterbury Cathedral

Design perhaps by Master Mason Stephen Lote
Master Mason Thomas Mapilton

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 305

These fragments once outlined a panel of stained glass in the "Great South Window" of the south transept of Canterbury Cathedral. Consistent with medieval practice, the two sides of the arch were carved in distinct though complementary ways. The side facing the interior of the church consists of three undulating courses of molding. The exterior, which exhibits the stress and repairs expected from centuries of exposure to the elements, displays a simpler faceted molding. Various marks related to construction appear on the ends of stone that are now exposed. These range from simple incisions to a mason’s mark in the shape of a cross.
