Leaded window, partly painted with black lead, in wooden frame 67.5 x 24.7 cm and hanging device.

The greek letters Phi, Omega, Sigma, Zeta and Eta, painted with black lead in the upper part of the window and arranged in the shape of a cross, are legible as "Phos Zoe", Greek for Light and Life. Thorn Prikker repeatedly used these words originating in Early Christianity and refering to Jesus Christ for his window designs.
