4/5 Norwich Cathedral SWIPE
The cloisters and vaulted ceiling (see 2 and 3 in this set) both have medieval carved bosses which largely escaped the iconoclastic destruction. Here are four from the cloisters.

#photography #churchphotography #medieval #medievalart

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.

I would like to ask the Mastodon hive- mind a question about #StainedGlass. The background story is that I went to a giant yard sale/antique sale in Frankfurt West #Germany in 1986 or so and bought these two pieces. They went in to storage, they took some damage but now I want to know more about them and possibly have at least one of them repaired. I was told that they were pulled from a small church that was being demolished years before and they'd been in a basement for a couple of generations before this person sold them to me.

So does anyone have any idea what I have here? How old are they and should I cannibalize one of them to make the other into a better piece? I'd love to build one of them into the wall of a sunny room in my house or stabilize it, frame it and backlight it as an art piece.
These are three pictures of the same piece, the other one is missing the M shape center piece (broken) but is otherwise in tact.

I look forward to your insights and any comments you choose to make and thank you for your time!
