Top left: a tonsured monk is shown kneeling before a nimbed mitred figure and a further armoured figure behind, holding a shield and flag with a white cross on a red ground; top right: a tonsured abbot is shown kneeling before the Virgin and Child and a further armoured figure behind, who holds a flag with a white cross; below left: a tonsured monk kneels before a seated female saint holding a sword; below right: a standing male saint presents a tonsured kneeling abbot.

Previously assumed to be Flemish, the panels have recently been identified by Roger Rosewell as originating from Steinfeld Abbey, near Cologne.
Since these photographs were taken (2010) the glass has been conserved.
