介绍（中）	这幅圆环与雷曼收藏中的其他三幅（1975.1.1906 年、1975.1.1907 年和 1975.1.1909 年）以及修道院收藏中的两幅（47.101.63 和 47.101.64）一起构成了 15 世纪早期描绘圣马丁生活场景的同一系列法国-佛兰芒刺绣的一部分。刺绣最初是一个更大的合奏的一部分（三十六个圆形和面板现在分散在公共和私人收藏中），可能装饰了礼仪法衣，祭坛正面，或者可能是它们的组合，构成了一套法衣。离开罗马军队后，马丁致力于宗教生活，成为法国普瓦捷主教圣希拉里的门徒。圣马丁被描绘成跪在主教面前，主教任命他为助手。这一系列刺绣，如果最初不是用于礼仪服装，可能装饰了一个祭坛正面，类似于这里出现在马丁跪姿后面的祭坛上的蓝色覆盖物。祭坛的上部装饰着受难场景，可能被认为是一个彩绘或刺绣的祭坛覆盖物。
介绍（英）	This roundel, together with three others in the Lehman Collection (1975.1.1906, 1975.1.1907, and 1975.1.1909), and two in The Cloisters Collection (47.101.63 and 47.101.64), form part of the same series of early fifteenth-century Franco-Flemish embroideries depicting scenes from the life of Saint Martin. Originally part of a much larger ensemble (thirty-six roundels and panels are now dispersed among public and private collections), the embroideries may have decorated a liturgical vestment, an altar frontal, or possibly a combination thereof, constituting a set of vestments. Having left the Roman army, Martin devoted himself to religious life and became a disciple of Saint Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers in France. Saint Martin is portrayed kneeling before the Bishop, who is ordaining him as acolyte. This series of embroideries, if not originally intended for a liturgical garment, may have embellished an altar frontal, similar to the blue covering that appears here on the altar behind the kneeling figure of Martin. The upper portion of the altar, adorned by a Crucifixion scene, may have been conceived as a painted or embroidered altar covering.
