'Angels playing the violin and the French horn' (our friends @grimethorpeband might want to quibble with the instrument designation). A detail from the West Window, Govan Old (St Constantine's) Parish Church. Installed by Charles E Kempe & Co Ltd, 1899.

From a postcard I picked up on a visit as part of the Celtic Studies Congress in Glasgow in 2015.

A chilly Viking sits huddled for warmth atop an early medieval Hogback stone monument, in the snow. A little robin perched on the hilt of his sword and a standing cross in the distance.
