Image 1: A carved and painted ceiling boss depicting a group of figures gathered around a table set with dishes, surrounded by ribbed vaulting radiating outward. The figures wear medieval dress in red, green, and gold tones, with an animal figure visible at the bottom center.
Image 2: A weathered, unpainted stone ceiling boss showing several carved figures with raised arms, their faces eroded or missing, set against wooden panelling. Traces of red pigment remain in the recesses, with cobwebs visible among the carved details.
Image 3: A painted stone corbel showing two standing figures in green tunics with gold belts flanking a central kneeling or fallen figure in red drapery, set against a background of gilded foliage and a dark branching tree motif.
Image 4: A carved and painted ceiling boss depicting a group of armored figures in blue-grey armor gathered around a rectangular coffin or chest painted in teal and gold, with a draped figure in red and gold to the left, set within radiating ribbed vaulting.
