Ornament - by endika

I don't know how old is this door, actually. If it is the original, it means more than 600 years.
It's possible, as this kind of wood is really lasting, and the general style and execution is much in the style of the time where the church was built, at the 14th century.
You can see the remainings of other ornaments in the upper right side, and the cut to make the door easier to open that is more recent I guess, so I can say it has a long story behind it.

This shot really shows the character and age of the door. Its surface worn by sun and weather. Its age indicated by the way the right side sags lower than the left from the many years of hanging on its hinges. One can only imagine all the stories that it knows.

I'm so confused, I left comments on many photos here in the exhibition and this is another one where my comments are gone! I was using my tablet, I must have forgot to "add comment" and just moved to the next photo. Well, basically I said "This is amazing!! I just want to touch it, touching things so old is a privilege.

Thanks for your comments!
This is a sanctuary placed at Pena-Roja (Peñarroya in spanish), Montse's family town, in Teruel, Aragon.

Interesting find - where is it? I would guess it's original looking at the carving and how it's worn.
