The idols are old glass although the background is modern. The Last Supper is composed entirely of fragments whose original iconography is uncertain; the heads of Judas and some of the other apostles, the f eet of the apostles in the right panel, one small fragment of drapery, and a few border palmettes and mosaic quarries are thirteenth century. The window is largely composed of reused, pitted pot metal.
