Description: This complete window tracery was made up of two pieces joined, with a small part on the right missing. It belonged to a pointed window of two lights. In the crownthere are two mouchette motifs with their tips pointing towards the outside and meeting at the centre, the two lights below have a semicircular top. The tracery is identical to the circular window of the eastern wall of the chapel of St. Benedict, and was thus connected with the chapel by Levárdy. This simple shape of tracery is fairly common in the second half of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century, thus it is not enough to identify closer stylistic parallels.
