This scene from the 1345 Luttrell
Psalter was used as Pings 1975
Christmas card. It shows Sir Geoffrey Luttrell and daughter-in-law
Beatrice Scrope. As can been seen from the photos above, I found the
model for sale in a sorry state, as well as missing Sir Geoffrey's wife.
Happily the figure has now been restored .Peter and Gilly
Greenhill recreated Agness Sutton from a Courtenay casting and finished
her in flat colour, but as a Greenhill. The two other figures were
restored to match the original. Peter and Gilly did an excellent job, the
picture does not do it justice.
I do hope Sir Geoffrey holds on to this Dame Agness
Sutton this time.
A picture of the original Ping as it appeared for the
Christmas card may be found on page 94 of Peter Greenhill's book, details
on the Greenhill
Minatures page
This illustration from the Luttrell Psalter is also the
basis of a model by Marcel
Vergeylen
