Returning Crusader Wall
Plaque
c. 1100
12" x 6"
This plaque is a copy of a twelfth century statue, and is
a testimony of the devotion of a wife for her husband. It
shows a French lady, Anne of Lorraine, welcoming her
husband, Hugh, Count of Vaudemont, back from crusade after
an absence of sixteen years. Most of his family gave him up
for dead, but Anne refused to abandon hope. When he finally
returned, she commemorated the happy event by commissioning
this statue in the Franciscan church at Nancy. Our version
is done with a stone finish, imitating the original
sculpture.
