The carving on this wooden panel is so intricate, all those flowing floral lines and curves. Really beautiful work.

Rebecca Davis That carving is really fine work. Is the church open to visitors on weekdays and what time do they usually have services?
Юлія Гончар Such carved flowers always attract attention, very delicate work. And the church is usually open from 9 a.m., services at 8 a.m. and at 5 p.m.
Ioana Stoica Yes, those flowers are carved with great precision. I also noticed the brick at the base, how it is arranged in a simple and solid pattern.
Росица Петрова Yes, the carving is very precise. In Plovdiv, such wooden panels were often made by local craftsmen in the 19th century, and you can see how they used beech for a stronger base.
Basil Adams The brickwork at the base looks like it's been there a good 150 years at least, the way those courses are laid so even and tight.
Mihaela Tudor Yes, and the brick pattern at the base is typical of craftsmen in our area at the end of the 19th century. My husband said they used slaked lime mortar to keep the moisture in better.
Христо Димитров Yes, the thread is very clean.
Константин Беляев Yes, the carving is clean, but the brick at the base is definitely held on by lime mortar, as they said.
Дмитрий Семёнов Yes, the carving is thin, and the roof above the panel is completely flat, you can see how the tiles are laid overlapping without gaps.
Γιάννης Νικολαΐδης The carving is very clean work, I have never seen such fine curves in wood. Where and when did you take the photo?
