The Funeral Effigy of Anne of Denmark

Though not from the Tudor era, this is most interesting!

The effigy of Anne of Denmark (wife of King James I) at Westminster Abbey.

At Anne's funeral in 1619, this effigy of her (and the now missing rest of it) would have been fully dressed and crowned, and laid recumbent on top of her coffin for all to see.
