Source Description
The origin of these stained glass panels is unknown. They depict a male and female donor, presumably husband and wife, who gaze upon a now-lost central panel. The object of their devotions was likely a crucified Christ or a standing figure of the Virgin Mary. The man, dressed in armor, and the woman, wearing a bejeweled and richly embroidered gown, are accompanied by their not yet identified coats-of-arms. They are undoubtedly members of an aristocratic elite who commissioned these windows, perhaps for a family chapel.

The brilliant colors of this stained glass panel were produced by adding different materials to molten glass, creating a reaction that resulted in specific colors while the metal supports for the individual pieces of glass are made from pot metal, an alloy, or mixture, of copper and iron.
