This gothic Sculpted piece reflects the skill and vitality once achieved by the Gothic carvers. The flow, movement and crisp, clean lines. France was the starting point of the gothic. this piece has Strong Vertical pull with gables and the crocketts sticking out , the quatrefoil adorned by the trefoil . The coloring used on the stone to modify the light and to increase spiritual and heavenly experience of the worshipers . The elegant base with praiseworthy extension in the form of circular columnar upward carving . The craftsmen of the time weren’t stifled by rhythm they were free as individuals to create whatever detail they wanted within the overall plan laid out by the Master Carver. This gave Gothic decoration the charm and interest that we do not find in later styles and periods. In the carved ornamentation color played an important part in the Gothic period . Decoration inspired by local flora developed over the Gothic period. leaf motifs were less fanciful and portrayed simply. Later, they became more energetic. The muscular contrast of movement and flow created the wonderful effect of light and shade so prevalent in Gothic carving and sculpture that we can clearly see in this gothic piece.
