Isaiah has one has shielding his eyes. An angel symbolizing loyalty, with a shield and a sword to suppress a dragon. The second panel has Jeremiah, shown with a shepherd’s crook. Below Jeremiah we see an angel seated, protecting a child with one arm while the other supports the tablets of law. Under his feet a demon has been crushed.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
