A carved relief panel showing the washing of Christ's feet by Mary Magdalene. Christ is seated on the left with Mary kneeling and washing his feet; behind her is a table laid with plates, food, cutlery and a cup; three men are seated behind the table, with one more, wearing a turban, on the right. On the right side stands a servant carrying a jug, with another on the floor beside him; in the background on the left is a swag between two draped posts, to the right of which is a dresser, on the top shelf of which are two urns, a plate and a goblet. There is evidence of damage and repairs. This work is originally from Furness Abbey.
