Exterior View of “Mother of Grace” Faceted Glass Window, Mary, Mother of Priests Chapel

Description

A full vertical exterior photograph documenting the outer face of the "Mother of Grace" "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) window set within the chapel’s exterior wall.

The image features:

* Exterior Matrix Perspective: Viewed under natural exterior lighting, the dark glass slabs present as opaque, geometric tesserae embedded within the light-colored mortar and resin matrix, demonstrating the window's mosaic-like appearance from the building's exterior.

* Visible Iconographic Silhouettes: The dark structural outlines clearly delineate the window's central design elements, including the lower globe with radiating stars, central cluster of vertical crosses surrounded by celestial stars, and upper crown motif with ray bursts.

* Recessed Stucco Framing: The three-section vertical window assembly is set into a deep recess within the smooth, light-gray exterior stucco facade, supported by a projecting, tiered concrete sill at the bottom.

* Archival Preservation Record: This entry completes the exterior documentation for the nave's dalle de verre window sequence, recording the physical condition, mortar joint stability, and seal integrity prior to decommissioning.
