Roundel of a crowned saint with a sword and wheel, holding a book, beside a severed head, in yellow stain and grisaille.

Roundel with Saint Catherine of Alexandria

A crowned female saint stands in a long mantle, holding a book and a sword, with a spiked wheel at her side. A small severed head lies at her feet on a yellow-stained hill, set within a lacy yellow border.

Look closer: A small monogram or mark appears near the bottom edge of the roundel.
