Serpents

Product Description

Serpents.

Taken from the medieval carvings (C1380.) found upon the Misericords and supporters from within the choir stalls of Worcester Cathedral. This carving shows three mythical serpents intertwined in a lattice knot. Although being a mythical creature in this depiction the serpents are depicted with almost human character in the sense of facial features and expression, more unusual are the long ears. The carving has survived through centuries without virtually any damage and remains in pristine condition. This reproduction has been taken from the original carving and captures all the fine detail produced by the master craftsmen that carved this piece over 600 years ago. Designed to hang upon a wall, this reproduction makes a stunning display and interesting focal point, comes with a hanging fixture and a product label.

Size (H) 17cm x (W) 16cm.
