Medieval History
Church W. portal - decoration on right jamb. Al, Norway, 12th century.
Tapestries are my favorite art form, of all time. Love love love. This is the Baldishoel Tapestry: fragment: detail of April and May. "The two months of April and May - the part of the tapestry which has been preserved - is a fragment of a larger tapestry designed as a frieze which most likely consisted of 12 motifs - one for each month of the year." 1180. 6'6 3/4" x 3'11". Held at the Kunstindustrimuseet in Oslo, Norway.
