by onbekend

In the fifteenth century, vault disks were added at the points where the vault ribs intersect. The Oude Kerk has 63 such disks of varying shapes (circular and semi-circular), sizes and designs, featuring a variety of images, primarily Christian scenes. All of the disks originally featured eight or 16 pointed projections that radiated from them like the rays of the sun.
