Description:
This stained glass panel features a rectangular coat of arms framed by black leading, forming a grid-like pattern across the glass. The central image is a heraldic shield set against an orange background and divided into two horizontal sections. The off-white-colored and delicately patterned upper section has three pale blue-colored plum-shaped fruits in a horizontal alignment, and the lower section has the same delicate and refined pattern but in red. The shield is topped with a decorative helmet with red and gold mantling. The mantling billows outward in curving patterns resembling acanthus leaves with red and white colors. Above the helmet is a crest featuring red and white spread wings with one pale blue plum-shaped fruit between them. Above the shield is a glass section with a winged head of a cherub placed on top of a golden flower garland. The bottom panel is painted with decorative gold and white architectural elements. (Wasifa Orthy '26)
