Description
Winged angel shown frontally with outstretched wings, holding a heraldic shield. The figure has shoulder-length hair and wears a dark garment with a red collar. The shield displays a broad pale cross on a red field.
Heraldry
Provisional blazon: Gules, a cross Argent.
In plain English: A white or silver cross on a red field. This is the traditional cross of St George and may have been intended as an emblem of the saint or of England.
Condition
The carving remains substantially intact, although the surface is worn and softened in places. The red field and pale cross remain clearly legible, despite abrasion and losses to the painted surface. Significant colour also survives on the figure and wings.
