At the top, below two winged creatures facing inwards towards what could the Ark of the Covenant, are the words “The people / rejoiced”.
Below this is a smelting scene of two men beside a furnace, subscribed with the words “Because with / perfect heart”; below this is a smith making a menorah with below, the words “They offered / willingly”.
The lowest scene is of a priest with arms raised, with the words “To the Lord” below.
The lettering is painted using Roman capitals.
A small plaque approx. 2 inches high x 12 inches wide containing the dedication is affixed to the reveal of the window to the right of the stained glass panel. Lettering is incised and whitened using sans serif lower case lettering.
