| Physical description | Rectangular plaster cast panel. In the centre is a bust in profile within a circular medallion. |
| Object history | Taken from departmental record: 'The originals, of carved oak, are portions of the panelling formerly in an old house near Waltham Abbey, Essex. This panelling probably formed part of the decoration of the abbey-house at Waltham Abbey, which was granted at the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, on lease to Sir Anthony Denny. In the early part of the 17th century Edward Denny, grandson of Sir Anthony, Baron of Waltham and Earl of Norwich, is supposed to have used this panelling in his new house erected in the abbey grounds. This mansion was pulled down in 1770 and the carvings now in the Museum were placed in a house in the town.' |
