15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
#25
I made a map of some places where images of swallowtails merlons were made (14th-15th centuries). So not the places they represent, but the places of manufacture. After all, this is something these places have in common with the VM.

Landau is certainly an outlier, but a very interesting seal.

   


It also includes castle Runkelstein in Bolzano, which depicts them on a fresco. For "Lombardy" I marked the capital.
If I missed any or any additional examples are found, I will gladly add them when I'm back.

(I used something like "favorite places" in Google Maps and now they are marked with hearts Heart )
