Uses pieces of streaky antique glass and opaque white strips, with horizontal bevelling. White paint on the reverse of the face diffuses the light.

The arched structure of the leading suggests that the design was perhaps a section for a larger window, perhaps made as a proposal for a commission or competition entry.
