The delicately painted head of a youth on a single piece of uncolored glass is an element from a larger unknown panel. It was later set within old fragments of red and blue glass to form the present medallion. The current arrangement focuses attention on the sensitively rendered features of the head as a beautiful example of fourteenth-century glass painting.
