I'm fairly certain the wall is a composition and that it wasn't built that way in the start. These could be grave stones of knights. This place is English/Norman and so it's very unlikely they would've added anything Celtic. The only thing that might be a bit earlier is the Tau scene. Earlier than the building of the entire abbey that is. And did you see the Phoenix over the bishop. Now that I didn't see myself until I cropped out the rest of them and isolated the bishop.
Is that a phoenix or an angel above the bishop. It looks like it's swinging a thurible. I'm still trying to figure out the bottom shot. He's got feet like a hobbit! ;) And on the lower left, it looks like a pike eating an eel.
I think she's got a mirror! Or a lollipop! ;)
ReplyDeleteWould they be considered the right style for that time period? They're almost cartoonish.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I think I just made it under the wire. If not, happy belated St. Patrick's Day! :)
DeleteNever thought of them being gravestones but seeing them up close makes me think that is probably right.
ReplyDeleteI'm using headstones loosely. More memorials, somewhat.

ReplyDeleteWell yes, but look above on the right. Level with the top. The bird is piercing his breast.
DeleteAre they bronze? I found your thought that they were English without Celtic influence
ReplyDeleteNo, these are carved limestone. Are you missing a bit from your statement.
