South-east Oculus
The oculus window in the south-east transept of Canterbury Cathedral, dating originally from around 1177.
The overall diamater of the window is about four and a half metres.
The stained glass panels were reconstructed using original glass where possible by George Austin, the Cathedral's glazier from 1848 to 1862, and then further restored by cathedral's Cathedral Studios in 2013.
In the central square are depicted Christ and Ecclesia, surrounded in a diamond-shape by faith, hope, charity and humility, with in semicircles round the inner circle the four apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
The twelve apostles form the outer circle.
