| 24. Angel playing cymbals roof boss Gloucester Cathedral, choir. c.1350 |

Original stone finish (24) |
One of many bosses in the choir's complex and beautiful vaulting depicting angels playing musical instruments - some of the others are perhaps a little stiffly carved, but this one has a delightful fluidity and quite a jaunty air. The vaulting in Gloucester Cathedral is beautiful and contains many gems of the carver's skill. |
