This stained glass window shows two on the left, Saint-Maurice and on the right, Saint-Nicolas.
The stained glass window has two main lancets. On the left, Saint Maurice, represented as a Roman soldier with armour, a red cloak and a sword, holds a palm, symbol of his martyrdom. On the right, Saint Nicholas is represented as a bishop, wearing a mitre and a pastoral crosier. He blesses the three children in a tub, recalling the miracle of the resurrection of children. Surmounting the whole, a quatrefoil decorated with floral motifs and foliage, with a predominance of red, marks the spiritual and ornamental end of the composition.The stained glass window has two main lancets.
