rose-window
Gothic church feature
A rose window is a circular window with ornamental tracery radiating from the center, found especially in Gothic cathedrals.
The stone framework divides the glass into petal-like sections, creating a flower-like pattern: The rose window at Notre-Dame filters afternoon light across the nave.
