1569 closeup
November 2, 2007 Magdeburg Cathedral, Magedeburg, Germany
attempt to show some of the detail on this closeup. Notice the edge of his hat, his curled hair. He has square wooden buttons on his shirt - and what appears to be embroidery along the neckline and down the chest. There's the ridging on that collar and the draping at the puffed sleeves. Around him you can see the vine detail of the arch, the cherub above him with detailed feathering on the wings, and must how deeply he was carved into the stone.
I wonder how long it took a stone carver to do this- all by hand.....
