These wonderful pair of panels are unusual in the fact that they are depicting a real life couple as opposed to saints or warriors.

A glimpse into the European wardrobe of the 16th century ,she is wearing a square cut bodice with full sleeves and netted hair while he has a jerkin with doublet sleeves and a straw hat.

Both hold a single flower in their hands,a sign of fertilty and abundance for their future heir and fortune.

The male panel has a replaced section to the bottom and both have a very good colour and patina.
