This early thirteenth-century lancet shows St Andrew standing beneath a delicate architectural canopy typical of the Bourges clerestory glazing campaign. The apostle is identified by the inscription S. ANDREAS at the base of the panel. Andrew is depicted as a bearded figure dressed in white and red robes, his right hand raised in a gesture of address while the left rests near the drapery folds of his mantle.

Significantly, Andrew is not shown with his later, culturally dominant attribute — the diagonal (saltire) cross. In Gothic France, Andrew is frequently represented simply as an apostle with no distinctive symbol, and the saltire only becomes standardised in Western iconography from the later Middle Ages onward. Here, Andrew’s identity is conveyed solely by inscription and apostolic bearing.

The surrounding border uses the familiar geometric patterning of the Bourges glazing workshop, with alternating reds, blues, and whites that frame the figure in a tight vertical composition. The panel is a good example of the clerestory’s emphasis on individual saints as intercessory presences surrounding the high choir.
