Panel clear and flashed glass with silver stain, brown/black pigment and enamels depicting a bearded man in armour with, to his left, a shield (azure, a vase, or, with flowers proper), with full achievements and crest. Above, in the left corner, a representation of St George and the Dragon. In the right corner there is a lion holding a sceptre and there is a sun above a triple mount, which appears to have originally been part of another panel. Underneath this image of a lion, there is a fragment of replacement glass, inserted upside down, showing part of the crucified Christ. Underneath, there is an inscription. In the right hand bottom corner there is a signature in monogram (BW).
