I would like to ask the Mastodon hive- mind a question about #StainedGlass. The background story is that I went to a giant yard sale/antique sale in Frankfurt West #Germany in 1986 or so and bought these two pieces. They went in to storage, they took some damage but now I want to know more about them and possibly have at least one of them repaired. I was told that they were pulled from a small church that was being demolished years before and they'd been in a basement for a couple of generations before this person sold them to me.So does anyone have any idea what I have here? How old are they and should I cannibalize one of them to make the other into a better piece? I'd love to build one of them into the wall of a sunny room in my house or stabilize it, frame it and backlight it as an art piece. These are three pictures of the same piece, the other one is missing the M shape center piece (broken) but is otherwise in tact.I look forward to your insights and any comments you choose to make and thank you for your time!#Art #Artstodon #Medieval #Glass

Any medieval specialists #medieval #historian #historians around who has any idea where this medieval-looking frog might come from, originally ?(Google image was not helpful, though the image is at least 5 year old on the internet).Boost to prevent a real frog plague by keeping the frogs on the internet.I also take suggestion for more appropriate tags.

A heads up: the platform I've been using to host my searchable database of #medieval Premonstratensian sisters is ending its free hosting plan on short notice. Since I can't justify spending $100/month (!) on this, or find a viable alternative, it'll go away on Oct 1. If you'd been planning to use it for any reason, look those nuns up now, I guess! https://yvonneseale.org/atlas/sisters
