These crenelated shadows are from the basilica of Einhard, the biographer and contemporary of Charlemagne. The basilica was built around 825 in Steinbach, near Michelstadt im Odenwald.
This on the other hand, is a much smaller shadow of a collection of elvish clay characters contemporary to us. Spot the difference!

Again what learned! (literal translation from German, often used as an example of bad English by German speakers). But just yesterdays I learned a word from Margaret. Fossicking. I have to fossick for more new words!
