Watch as a medieval stained glass panel in our collection is reproduced using centuries-old techniques.
The original panel came from the choir windows in Erfurt Cathedral in eastern Germany and was part of a scene dedicated to the Passion of Jesus. The making process involves working from a drawing called a cartoon, cutting solid pieces of coloured glass, decorating textured glass with enamel paints and using lead strips to hold the glass together.
