Thanks Whittler. You are certainly right, those medieval craftsmen were something else.

Very interesting Steve. An unbelieveable amount of work went into this. Amazing to think about, such detail. I imagine over the years it convinced many to walk the straight and narrow :-). Great shot of a stunning piece of work. Thanks for the closer view. Don

Thought I'd mention that when these statues were carved they were painted and gilded - that must have been worth seeing!

Thanks Lorraine, Mary, Tania and Carol. I was pleased how well this small fragment of the original frame stood up to the considerable enlargement necessary, without too much loss of resolution.
