Stained Glass Cattail Window Panel

This item is a rectangle-shaped stained glass panel depicting a natural scene of cattails in front of a setting or rising sun. The panel is constructed from various pieces of colored glass, primarily green, orange, and amber/clear, joined together with lead came or copper foil solder lines, which appear dark brown or black. The central motif features a large, bright orange circle, representing the sun, partially obscured by several long, slender green leaves and dark brown, textured cattail heads. There are approximately seven cattail heads visible, each with a distinct texture suggesting their fibrous nature. The background is composed of a light amber or gold-toned glass, which allows light to filter through, creating a warm glow. The overall construction appears to be typical of traditional stained glass techniques, possibly Tiffany style given the lack of visible lead came on all internal lines, suggesting copper foil. The panel exhibits some visible signs of use and age, including dust and smudges on the glass surfaces and minor wear on the solder lines. There are no immediate visible cracks or significant damage to the glass pieces themselves. The craftsmanship appears to be good, with cleanly cut glass pieces and well-defined solder lines. The style is somewhat rustic or nature-inspired, aligning with traditional stained glass art. It likely dates from the late 20th century or early 21st century. A smaller, related piece of stained glass, possibly part of a larger set or a hanging element, is visible at the top, hanging above this panel, though not fully in view.
