Christ and the Doctors Image 330 Carved roof boss from the nave vault of Norwich Cathedral, showing the twelve-year old Christ seated at the centre of the composition upon a high-backed chair. Grouped around, on either side of Christ, and at his feet, are three doctors of the Hebrew law. Each holds out his book, and the doctor to the right points to the text, as if contesting Christ’s interpretation of the law. But the young Christ holds a closed book. Rose and Hedgecoe 1997, pp.91-2 back to previous page
