Description
An angel holds a shield in front of its body. The wings spread broadly to either side, while carved foliage rises behind them. The shield appears to contain the letters “IHC” with a cross over the H. This could be a christogram—an abbreviation of the name “Jesus” in Greek capital letters.
Condition
The figure and both wings survive, but the carving is worn and much of its surface appears grey with dirt. The shield is especially indistinct. The darker fitting below the figure is visible in the original photograph and should not be read as part of the heraldry.
