  A two-panel window with rounded arches united by a circle depicting an angel holding a branch.

Each scene is framed by an ornate architectural canopy and surmounted by a cross bottony. The canopies unite the double lancets and frame the figures that might otherwise appear to float in space.

"The canopies in the space above the figures are a favorite device used by the German Studios to fill large windows. This device was first introduced in the fourteenth century when Gothic cathedrals began to soar and windows became taller and narrower." - Nola Huse Tutag, Discovering Stained Glass in Detroit, Wayne State University Press, 1987, p. 93
