Brief Description of Subject: In the Old Testament Book of Judith, the Jewish widow Judith gained entrance to the tent of the Assyrian enemy leader Holofernes, whom she slew with his sword as he lay in a drunken stupor, thereby saving her people. She is depicted with the sword of Holofernes. The lyre below her figure represents the “Canticle of Thanksgiving” attributed to her.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
