The choir stalls in Manchester Cathedral date from around 1505-1510. This misericord, in the seventh stall from the west on the north side of the choir, depicts a nude figure, suggested to be a female child, emerging from a spiral shell. The figure is driving a spear into the mouth of a dragon. The scene is supported on either side by three flower buds in a roundel, at the end of which is another flower bud.
