Not quite as old as some of the murals I have shown but
still very old. This one I think dates back to the 17th century and was on the
wall of a Church I visited in Wales.
The first one you see is only a partial and the rest may have been damaged at some stage
The next is behind the altar and shows a bit more though I am not sure what it is meant to be.
But
this I think is a go at the painting Royal Crest painting, the
unicorn and crown are shown on this. The church dates from the 17th century so
backs this up, least that is what I am surmising.
If you wist to see what a treasure this church is then check back on Sunday to my blog called
Taking Part in Monday Mural
You never know what you'll find inan old church!
ReplyDeleteMurals are from all ages.
ReplyDeleteSome of the photos look like the paintings have been uncovered beneath the last layer of wall plaster.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
Nice to see that at least bits of the mural have survived.
ReplyDeleteSpecial to see!
ReplyDeleteWow! from the 17th century. That's very cool. The bottom two remind me of tapestries.
ReplyDeleteThey hint at a complex history that few of us know. They are a visual gift to those lucky enough to see them. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThat third one certainly does have the royal crest feel to it.
