The Welsh-language Lord's Prayer set into this decorative tile panel makes it a different object from the English-language versions that often appear on similar boards. Wales has a long tradition of Welsh-language devotion, and the words of the prayer, known in Welsh as the "Gweddi'r Arglwydd," were a familiar sight in chapels, churches, and homes, where text and decoration were often combined. Tile panels like this one were typically meant to be read as much as admired, so the lettering and border work deserve a close look. Notice how the text is arranged to fill the space, since that layout says a good deal about how the piece was meant to be displayed.
