St Margaret is shown with her symbol of the dragon. Pregnant women called upon her to protect them in childbirth because of her miraculous escape from the belly of a dragon. The saints stands, her hands clasped before her in prayer. Between her feet facing to the left uis a winged dragon which bites at her robe.Notable are the finely cut flower bandeau binding the hair which falls in waving curls over her shoulder.     Gallery location:Medieval & Renaissance, Room 50b, The Paul and Jill Ruddock Gallery, case FSCourtesy of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London
