Quote:The Lady of the Lake also sent a shield to Guinevere. The magic shield depicted a knight and a lady kissing, but the shield was split down the middle, preventing the knight and lady from actually touching one another. The Queen was told once she consummates her relationship with her lover, would the split shield become whole.

This one won't get us much further (it's not even a real double handshake) but I'm sharing anyway since it's a beautifully preserved piece from the early 14th century.

Considering how many plagues and fires there were in medieval times, and wars in which whole cities were burned, it's remarkable. It is also very beautiful.

The lips, cheeks, eyebrows, the hair, and even the headgear all remind of the nymphs.

There is wording on the right lady's gown.

I can't quite see the writing, but near the hand it looks like it might be Latin "hoc".

I think it's probably referring to Luke 1:43 " et unde hoc mihi ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me" - the NRSV translation is "And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me?". I could see "...de hoc ..." so I just put that fragment into one of the bible version websites and asked it to only show me results from the gospels. The annunciation comes fairly early on (obviously) so there wasn't to much to skim.
