6-winged angel in top quatrefoil that unites the two panels of Saints Rose of Lima and St. Genevieve of Paris



The dual canopies unite the pair of lancets and frame the figures that might otherwise appear to float in space. "This device was first introduced in the fourteenth century when German 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.
