Cosmati Pavement at Westminster Abby

British Medieval History

@BritishMedieval

The Cosmati pavement at the high altar of #Westminster Abbey, one of the wonders of the #medieval world. In these intricate shapes and swirls, with a nebula-like disc of porphyry as the centrepiece, Henry III sought to represent the creation of the universe. Thanks Darren Baker
