Description

Collection of painted glass panes from Morgan Tower. Eight yellow-tinted glass panes, painted on one side to resemble intricate stained glass windows. They are edged with four alternating rows or blue and red bricks, with the inner panes painted in shaped of red, yellow, green, and blue. They are clearly designed to be hung together to form four tall windows. There are two panes which come to an arched point, and two panes which come to three smaller arched points with decorative finials. For each pointed pane there is a pane of glass completely covered in decoration to form the lower section. This collection also includes the broken pieces of another pane. This pane was a rectangle of dark red glass with a white frosted circular insert
