'Praising Angel' stained glass panel

This stained glass panel was part of a series of eight windows made for the residence of George MacCulloch, an Australian mining magnate and patron of Morris & Co. The windows were later removed from the home and the upper and lower portions of the window may have been lost or destroyed, what remains is the central figure.

Burne-Jones's 'Praising Angel' figure was originally designed in 1878 for windows in Salisbury Cathedral. The cartoons were subsequently used for stained glass elsewhere, including Painswick church, Gloucestershire (1898) and Crescent Street Church in Montreal (1901), as well as the MacCulloch house. In 1894 the cartoons were also adapted for tapestries, of which examples exist at Brockhampton Church, Herefordshire and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
