In the background Christ on the way to Calvary has his face wiped by st. Veronica, leaving his image behind. On the right st.Nicholas carries his 3 golden balls to redeem the 3 girls shown in bed. The crucifixion also appears on the flag. Amazing detail implies that these windows were designed to be seen close up, probably in a domestic setting.

Study the hinges! And why has the face of the gryllus been smashed - he's no angel or saint. Maybe just too disturbing for someone. In every way these misericords are unlike others; structure, design, imagery all appear unique. No others have this exact central support, or triangular section to the side tails, or seat shape, or long hinges behind the carving, or these surreal animated gloves. The closest are perhaps those from st.nicholas, king's lynn, and they are considerably later in date.

Animated gloves on legs ; some of the more unusual babewyns found on misericords. And again look at how the hinges pass behind the branches etc.
