RecordMisericordfrom north-east Scotland
MisericordA misericord is a narrow ledge on the underside of a hinged seat in a choir stall, used for support when the occupant is standing. This oak example is one of three said to have come from the north-east of Scotland and kept for some years at Gordon Castle at Fochabers at Moray. The bracket of the misericord is carved with a curved stem terminating at both ends with a spray of leaves. The spray encloses a demi-angel with wings spread, who is holding a shield.
