A metal field gate with some decorative curled details at its top corners, attached to black posts on either side. There are dry grasses and fallen leaves at the base of the gate. In the background is a large grassy field with sheep in the distance, a large tree with sprawling branches stands prominently on the right side, while a tall evergreen tree is on the left and other trees in the distance. The sky is cloudy and overcast.

Similar use of Nürnberg coat of arms, the German/Imperial eagle & the Bohemian lion. Thus emphasising sovereignty & the status of medieval Nürnberg. With this heraldic alliance the imperial city of Nuremberg depicted itself as an important pillar of the empire. It demonstrated its close relationship to the Bohemian crown. Such doors were symbols of sovereignty and standing. They closed important rooms in government and administrative buildings, but also in churches. Museum caption
Door with lozenges
Nürnberg, second half of 14th century
Pine wood & iron
Interesting to compare Nürnberg doors in the V&A Museum & this in Germanisches Nationalmuseum, #Nürnberg.
Both emphasising sovereignty & the status of the medieval city.
