Window with heraldic cartouche c. 16th century

This anonymous 16th-century stained glass panel, titled "Window with heraldic cartouche," depicts a heraldic crest within a circular frame. The crest is surrounded by blue foliage and features colorful shields and a stylized figure. The panel is set within a diamond-patterned lead grid, a common technique in stained glass art. This window is an example of stained glass art, which is known for its use of colored glass and lead to create intricate designs and patterns. This particular piece is likely a representation of a family's coat of arms, a symbol of their lineage and status. The Minneapolis Institute of Art is home to this work.
