Grisaille Motif (Canterbury Cathedral) Paperweight
Grisaille is a style of stained glass window decoration adopted in the 14th Century to allow light through a stained glass window. The 14th Century equivalent of a 'Minimalist' design, using line to create a design with cross-hatching to simulate tone. Use of grisaille meant that large areas of stained glass could be made less expensively as less coloured glass was used - but it became an art form in itself, and can be seen in many of the medieval cathedrals. This example is a typical one from Canterbury Cathedral.
