The window was discovered in 2022 in Warren, Rhode Island and will be relocated to the Memphis Art Museum.

This project aligns with the NEH's commitment to advancing humanistic knowledge and preserving cultural heritage through rigorous scholarly research and publication.Federal Grant Award Summary
