The panel shows a seraph (angel of high rank usually shown with multiple wings). It was probably one in a series of similar images forming part of the decorative scheme of a large window. Facing forward with outstretched arms, the figure has a red halo flanked by blue leaf-like fronds and wears a distinctive white cloth tied around the neck. A pair of white and yellow wings spread out from the shoulders and a pair of blue wings fold over the chest. The large eyes, wide face, and broadly painted details of the wings and garment suggest that the image was meant to be read clearly from a distance.
