Carver

A sculptor. The servant who carves the meat at his or her employer's table.

"There was only one penalty for such an emissary--the block, and Payn was brought to Cade's tent, where axe and block were brought forth, but fortunately his life was saved by Cade's sword-bearer and carver, who said that a hundred or more would die if Payn were executed."

Six Medieval Men & Women, "Sir John Fastolf," H. S. Bennett (1955).
