This stained glass window is composed of three vertical lancets, each divided into two main registers, or six scenes. Upper scenes, from left to right: The crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-31), Noah and his family leaving the ark (Genesis 8:15-22), an episode from Genesis? Lower scenes, from left to right: John the Baptist baptizing, Moses and the water flowing from the rock (Exodus 17:6), The sacrifice of Abraham (Genesis 22:1-19)? The whole follows a classic tripartite organization with a dominance of blue, red and gold, colors traditionally associated with divine royalty, faith and spiritual light. In the center, between the upper and lower registers, is a sculpted element that seems to represent a complementary scene in relief, probably inspired by traditional Christian iconography.This stained glass window is composed of three vertical lancets, each divided into two main registers, or six scenes.
