Glorification of Virgin Mary. unknown c. 1500-1510 Tapestry Dimensions: H 5'10" x W 8' (left half of top portion) Tapestry Materials/Techniques: unknown Culture: Southern Netherlands Ownership History: Bramshill chapel; sold, London Sotheby's, 3/13/1931. French & Co. purchased from Spanish Art Galleries, invoiced 3/16/1931. Scotland, Lanark, Glasgow, Burrell Collection.

Patch work quilt of 1 tapestry panel, rather than more than 1 tapestry. This panel was extensively restored, rearranged & rewoven before being sold [by French & Co.] (Campbell). Tapestry is represented as 3 seperate panels, however, I believe they were once a single panel which was cut apart. Thus, GCPA 0239377, 0239200, 0202516:0202518, 0202520:0202523 show the 2 fragments which were formerly the top of the panel, & GCPA 0239472:0239474,
