'Cast of a Doorway and Column, About 1050-70 CE

The swirling patterns and mysterious iconography of the doorway and column from the wooden stave church at Urnes (Norway) fascinate and intrigue, although their exact iconographic meaning remains unknown. The designs may derive from illuminated manuscripts, or possibly textiles.'
