Description:
This stained glass pane, featuring a coat of arms, has an octagonal frame with a black leading. It is divided into four sections, with a roundel outlined in black in the center. Inside the roundel is a shield, also outlined in black, divided into two parts. The top depicts a pouncing gray unicorn on a red decorative background, sticking out its tongue. The unicorn wears a golden collar with a golden cross. On the bottom of the shield is half of a red wagon wheel against a silver background with a white floral pattern. The shield is set against a blue background inside the roundel, with a circular darker blue design around the shield. The roundel is surrounded by four quadrants, and each quadrant around the central crest contains identical gold acanthus leaves against a translucent background. (Tomasz Andrzej Grzybowski)
