15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
#64
David, the reason why I initially made this thread is because I wondered whether a political meaning was still likely in the 15th century. And if so, what meaning? Or would it already have been more likely that the architectural form could exist by itself, without any additional meaning besides the aestethic appeal?

For the collection thread in the "essentials" subforum, we are focusing on medieval depictions of swallowtail merlons to circumvent questions about later renovations.
