  • Cover photo description:
  • Detail of the Urnes Stave Church in Norway representation of the fight between good and evil. On the other hand it is possible that the decoration of the earlier church represented a scene from Norse mythology a probable reason for its premature reconstruction in the 12th century. In this context the animal could be interpreted as the dragon Nidhogg gnawing at the roots of Yggdrasil the tree of life. The entwined serpents and dragons represent the end of the world according to the Norse legend of Ragnarök.
