    History

    Research

    Ce fragment héraldique provient d’un vitrail inconnu. Sur les panneaux armoriés, les écus aux armes du Saint-Empire sont fréquemment représentés couronnés au sommet d’une pyramide héraldique, accompagnant les blasons des commanditaires, d’après la composition conçue par le peintre verrier zurichois Lukas Zeiner (vers 1454-avant 1513) vers 1500 (cf. GE_2153, PB_1, SZ_3).
