Medieval History
The Capture of Saint Edmund, 1470-1500. This alabaster sculpture is part of the Victoria and Albert collection. Edmund was a Christian King of the East Angles in the ninth century. The scene is divided between the dramatic capture of Edmund by the wicked Danes, and the peasants collecting wheat in the fields. This was part of BYU's current exhibit featuring alabaster sculptures produced in England in the late fifteenth century. Quite a lovely piece!
