01-04 - Modern Panels by F Chigot (not photographed)

Overview:
Another highly distinctive armature design with ten mandorla-shaped medallions (the lowest four lost) and one large circle, occupying two registers and divided into quadrants.

This was the last window I photographed at the end of a long day in Poitiers Cathedral and my camera batteries were almost dead - hence why I didn't manage to shoot enough frames to complete the whole-window montage.
