This carved wall plate is over 800 years old and part of the only stave church in Poland.
The church was originally built around 1200 in the parish of Vang in the Valdres region of Norway.
It was bought by the Prussian King and transferred from Vang and re-erected in 1842 in (then) Brückenberg near Krummhübel in Silesia, now Karpacz in the Karkonosze mountains of Poland.
Now serving a Polish community, Vang church has become a major tourist attraction and is probably the world's most visited stave church with about 200,000 visitors each year.
