        Lovely. Thank you for sharing. Nice parallels in inhabited vine scrolls in contemporary architectural sculpture at Lincoln and in its diocese.

        The pictures you post show how wrong my idea of ancient times were,I wrongly imagine they were unskilled,when really they were the opposite.

        It's a common misconception! There really are some astonishing works of beauty from the medieval era :)

        There truly are, especially that Narwhal tusk, the carvings on that are mind blowing. Thanks for educating me again.

        So many questions about how people conceptualise things. Who looks at a dead fish and thinks "That bit would make a wonderful liturgical candle holder."?
