Note 28 — Of Angels and Archangels.

The Cherubim in the upper lights of the painted windows at St. Michael’s, Coventry, and at Cirencester, are represented each standing on a white wheel with eight spokes. They have six wings, of peacocks’ feathers, of a rich yellow colour. A white cross surmounts the forehead, and both arms and legs are covered with short plumage. The extremities are human and bare. At Cirencester the Cherubim hold a book; at Coventry a scroll.
