How can people do this kind of work? It is so perfect and so powerful. The story of Abraham sacrificing his son is an interesting tale - probably was used as a way of explaining to the Israelites that Yahweh no longer required human sacrifice as did the other gods of the neighboring tribes.
Quite a life Abraham had.
I'm glad he got this door to show it.
I have the same picture...
So intricate...amazing work.
