The Creation Tapestry of Girona (Spain) from around 1100

Set around 1100, this work explores a remarkable tapestry created for the Romanesque Cathedral of Gerona, Spain. It features a mandala design, combining pagan symbols representing nature gods with elements from the Jewish Tora creation myth, the Christian cross associated with Constantine the Great, and aspects of Islamic tradition. This unique fusion of cultural and religious imagery reflects the tapestry's enduring significance and the collaborative effort of many artisans in its creation.
