quite the array of materials...the X is simply the first letter of the Greek spelling of Christ...it's still in common use today, for example in the term Xmas for Christmas..

That must have taken a long time to construct! Beautiful capture of this ornately designed pillar.

some very complex twists to the ribs and layers of pattern to the vaulting

Great framing and angle that makes the roof sweep around the pillar. Beautifully crafted, The X figures are intriguing. V.
