2015-07-25 - Updated through online information from T. Bradford Willis, DDS. -- In the chancel are Moorish inspired half-domes supported by pierced and carved panels decorated with Gothic tracery. Those panels right below the dome and above the tracery are an interesting and inventive low relief suggestion of the muqarnas seen in "high" Moorish architecture. -Database Manager
