Carved Mythical Beasts on Cathedral Choir Stalls
by Lana Nieves
Cool blue twilight light washes over the intricate wooden misericords of a cathedral choir stall, revealing mythical beasts carved in high relief. The dark oak surfaces show deep tool marks and weathered textures where the carving meets the soft, low-hanging cloud shadows filtering through unseen windows. Each beast displays a unique posture, from coiled serpents to crouching lions, their forms emerging from the shadowed recesses of the wood. The tight framing isolates the craftsmanship against the dim, early winter backdrop, highlighting the grain of the timber and the sharp edges of the carved claws. A faint reflection glimmers on a polished brass hinge at the edge of the seat, catching the last of the fading daylight.
