Frames and supports in 15th and 16th-century Southern Netherlandish painting

ANTWERP, ROYAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 339 The indents for the hinge leaves appear to have been made using modern tools, and the symmetrically arranged hole to be intended for screws (?). Nor is there any indentation for easy insertion/removal of a pin. Perhaps we have here an unarticulatd diptych that was originally fixed to the bed hangings, like the small diptychs represented in certain Flemish paintings.
