ebony with gesso infill, 6.5cm high, on plinth, partial loss to gesso [cf. Skelton P422]
Note: Evidently conceived and carved as a discrete object, this icon is a truncated version of an wood-engraving which appeared in the Golden Cockerel Press edition of Troilus and Criseyde, published in 1926, where the branch extends to the length of the page.
Provenance: Property of an English collector.
