St Margaret's Church, King's Lynn

This panel has a curious motif of lions in the guise of the Green Man, with foliage sprouting from their mouths. As the detail below shows this is no accident, as the central tiles also have a small lion head with leaves growing out of the sides of the mouth.

This example forms part of a border. The lion's head is much more abstract than the portrayals on the lion tiles shown above.

The panel on the left is based on repeated images of doves (detail below). In each corner of the panel is an eagle.
