Explore more panels C1 The Virgin Mary suckling the Christ ChildThe Virgin is enthroned and gives suckle to the Christ Child, who retains his original head. Until 1945 the lost head of the Virgin had been replaced by a late medieval shield. The head of the Virgin and the lower part of her seated figure were recreated under Dean Milner-White’s direction, the too-small head of c.1340 having been retrieved from the damaged angel musician in panel A5.
