Part of a stained glass window with a scene of a farmer with his hands resting on his two border collies who look up at him. In the winter background is a red roofed house, a tree with bare branches, a dry stone wall and snowy fields. Surrounding the scene are decorative yellow tendrils, ducks and a bright blue stream, snowdrops, a hare and two small birds above.
