Description

[J4] Rectangular panel depicting a kneeling knight, with his hands raised up to his chest in prayer. He is turned to the left. Head and limbs are made of white glass with painted details. He wears armor and head protection, and over his body is a tunic decorated with what seems to be heraldry symbols, in red, orange and blue. The orange and blue stripes match the heraldry shield in the top right corner. The background is made of blue and red glass, and to the right below the shield is a Star of David with a Tudor Rose in its center.

Notes

Head and armor glass appear to be from the 15th Century, though from two separate panels. The hands are modern replacements. 10/2003 Brooklyn Stained Glass Conservation Center recommended removing backplate, cleaning surface of glass, and installing more suitable protective glazing.
