Eastern Europe
editSeveral 16th-century Polish tombs contained cross-legged effigies. Howver, the iconography is believed to differ from English examples, and rather than denoting knight killed on the battlefield, the pose instead probably symbolizes either the princely status of the deceased, or according to the historian Jan Białostocki, "their state of quiet and blessed repose".[1]
Material
editThe vast majority of medieval effigies were made from stone, usually either marble or alabaster. Wooden effigies became popular in southern England, and there are examples of copper-alloy tombs, especially in France and the former Burgundy lands. [2]
