Pictured is `Pair of Altar Angels`, oak with traces of paint figures atop tall columns in the Cloisters in Fort Tyrone Park in Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York City. Governed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cloisters specializes in medieval art and architecture with a focus on Romanesque and Gothic periods. Large wings once graced these 13th century French figures which supported rods for curtains that shielded the sacred area of the altar.
