Stained glass window in the shape of an eight-pointed star set within a terracotta filled ogee-shaped arch, surrounded with glazed bricks in two shades of blue. Article on these baths at http://www.victorianturkishbath.org/_6DIRECTORY/AtoZEstab/London/NewBroad/NewBroadEng.htm
Two similar vertical double frame stained glass windows shown after the baths closed and before the building was repurposed. The top half of each window features a star and crescent. Each window has an outer border of small square leads. The lower halves are larger rectangular panes. There's a leaking soil pipe to the right, and the brickwork is in poor condition.
The photo shows a rounded section of this 1901 art nouveau building with parts of the outer wings showing. Steps lead up to three arched doorways, surmounted by three arched windows on the first floor. Above is a balcony with a rectangular vertical window on each side and, at the top level, a semi-circular arch with three windows fitting the arch and a small circular window on each side. These baths are still open and details can be found at https://www.muenchen.de/en/culture-leisure/mullersches-volksbad
The Turkish Bath Museum window, set in recessed stone, frames a stained glass window, vertically rectangular with a semi-circular top, and has three main panels. The top shows a swallow in flight within a circle. The central panel shows a heron at the waterside within a rectangular frame, and the bottom panel shows (we think) two doves (possibly perched on an olive branch) within a circle. The bath was built some time in the 1880s by Richard Wynne whose wife and son were both in poor health. The museum is still open https://aumuseums.com/nsw/central-west/turkish-bath-museum
