Medieval Decorative Ornament (Dover Pictorial Archive Series)

Beautiful book provides 390 splendid examples of decorative stonework on English churches and cathedrals from the 12th to the 15th centuries. Designs — taken from stone capitals, doorways, spandrels, finials, canopies, stall carvings and other sources — imaginatively depict floral and foliate elements as well as mythical beasts, saints and other human figures.
