Fragments in the Glencairn Museum

Fragments in the Glencairn MuseumThere are many panels composed of unrelated fragments and numerous individual pieces of painted medieval glass from the Raymond Pitcairn Collection, not all of which have been catalogued. Notable among them are: a twelfth-century head from Western France (03.SG.220, ill.); two panels of 13th-century ornament (03.SG.64 and 03.SG.117, ills.); panels with 13th-century grisaille fragments (03.SG.66, 03.SG.168, 03.SG.192), one of which (03.SG.168, ill.) is flanked by 13th-century borders (from Troyes, Saint-Urbain ?) and includes a late 13th-century corpus; a panel with extensive architectural and figural fragments (03.SG.16, ill.); three panels with impressive 13th-century French heads (some from Soissons, Laon, and Western France (?)) set among pieces of ornament (03.SG.123, 03.SG.153, 03.SG.163, ills.); a panel with ornament and inscriptions dating from the 13th to the 16th century (03.SG.72); a panel of impressive 15th-century French (?) fragments (03.SG.150, ill.); seven panels of 15th-century English fragments (03.SG.227, 03.SG.254-256, 03.SG.259, 03.SG.261, 03.SG.262, ill.); a roundel made from 17th-century English heraldic fragments (03.SG.102, ill.); and a 17th-century figure of John the Evangelist surrounded by unrelated ornament (03.SG.105, ill.).
