rood beams (jesting beams, <beams by location or context>, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Transverse beams in Christian churches that span the nave at the entrance to the chancel or choir, and that separated the area around the altar from the area set aside for the laity. They are most common in the Middle Ages or early Renaissance Later, 'rood screens' developed between the beam and the floor. The rood beam may bear carved or painted portraits of the apostles, but most often is surmounted by a triumphal cross or crucifix. Rood lofts also later evolved above the rood beam. |

Dutch ..... Verbindingsbalk tussen de koorwanden op de scheiding tussen koor en schip of koor en dwarsbeuk. Op de balk zijn portretten van de apostelen aangebracht, gebeeldhouwd of geschilderd. Op de apostelbalk kan ook een triomfkruis (kruisbeeld) met flankerende beelden staan (Maria en Johannes, soms aangevuld met twee vrouwenbeelden die kerk en synagoge verbeelden). |
