In Italy they seem to assume it is Italian, (at least everything i have read about it) but i always had a problem with its style, if in fact, it was from the late 9th (and i have even seen 10th) century. It could possibly be Italian, but based on the style of the carving, if it is, then it would have to come from the 6th or early 7th century. The Bulgarian connection could solve that conundrum. Thanks for sharing this. <br />By the by, there is also a set of doors in Split, Croatia, which is very much in the same vein as these doors and is dated to around 1220. (i forgot the exact date, maybe 1223?) Some areas of Europe retained earlier stylistic trends much later than others. Even in Wales and Scotland this held true; in the 17th century some craftsmen were still working in the Gothic style.Johann von Katzenelnbogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774736348480165809noreply@blogger.com
