Information

A very youthful figure of Christ and does not correspond directly to any figure executed in stained glass. The figure, although crowned, does not have the usual attributes of Christ in Majesty, such as an orb. He does however, hold a staff, in his right hand, and may be a symbol of Christ as the 'Good Shepherd'.
