Doksaal van steen in de Sint-Gummaruskerk in Lier, België before 1887

This photograph depicts a black and white image of the rood screen in the Sint-Gummaruskerk in Lier, Belgium. The rood screen is a decorative structure that was often found in churches, separating the nave from the choir. This rood screen is likely from the 16th century, dating back to 1555, according to the caption. It was likely constructed of wood, although the image is black and white. The rood screen was designed as a decorative feature that would have been richly embellished with carvings and paint in its original form. The photograph shows the rood screen from below, with the intricate carvings and the arched structure of the top portion being the most prominent elements.
