Brass rubbing, in black heel-ball, on white paper, Lady Elizabeth Say, wife of Sir John, 1473, in heraldic mantle, enamelled, at St Augustine's Church, Broxbourne, Hertfordshire by Herbert Druitt, 1876-1943
' Lady Elizabeth wears a sideless surcoat, perhaps fur-trimmed, a kirtle with tight fitting sleeves and a full skirt, a heraldic mantle fastened to two brooches at the top with a tassled cord with a slide, rings to her fingers and one of the richest jewelled necklaces shown on a brass. She is turned slightly toward her husband, probably to show off her butterfly headdress. Her high forehead is probably the result of having had her hair plucked out. The rest has been combed back above the ears to be enclosed in square netted cauls at the back of the head on which a wire frame has been erected for a thin veil or gauze, thus forming the 'butterfly' wings. Lady Elizabeth wears pointed shoes, one of which rests on a small, belled lap-dog, the other on a grassy flower covered plot' (Source: www.hamline.edu/brass/pdfs)
