Description
Carved half-length figure set in the south-east corner of SA1. The frontal figure wears a blue-green garment and holds a long curved scroll across the body. Traces of painted decoration survive on the face, clothing and scroll.
Heraldry
Not applicable. The figure carries an inscribed scroll rather than a heraldic shield. Dark lettering survives on the scroll, but cannot be read with confidence from the present photograph.
Condition
The carving appears substantially intact in this view. The painted surface is worn and muted, with abrasion and loss affecting the figure and scroll. This is a photographic condition note only, not a conservation assessment.
Interpretation
This corner figure forms a counterpart to the north-east scroll-bearing figure, SA1-NE, and differs from the principal winged, shield-bearing angels of the compartment. The inscription may help identify the figure or its role in the decorative scheme; identification should remain open until the lettering is recorded more clearly.
Location / numbering
SA1-SE = South Aisle, compartment 1, south-east corner figure. The designation SE records its corner position rather than placing it in the numbered east-side sequence E1, E2 and E3.
Notes
Compare particularly with SA1-NE, the other scroll-bearing corner figure in the compartment. The enhanced image is a derivative working/display image; the unaltered SA1-SE.jpg remains the evidential master. A sharper close-up of the scroll
