Glossary of Medieval Art and
Architecture
plate tracery:
tracery which uses thick areas of stone to separate glozed areas. The
window may look as if it had been filled in with stone, then small
openings cut through for the glass. The stone rather than the glass
dominates the window.
Contrast with :bar tracery.
