Płock Door, Medieval bronze door at Saint Sophia Cathedral, Veliky Novgorod, Russia.
The Płock Door consists of two panels with 48 relief scenes depicting biblical narratives and religious figures in intricate detail.
Created between 1152 and 1154 by Master Riquin and Waismuth in Magdeburg, the door traveled from Poland to Russia in the 13th century.
The door combines Western European artistry with later added Cyrillic inscriptions, reflecting the cultural exchange between Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
Visitors can examine the original bronze door at Saint Sophia Cathedral in Veliky Novgorod, while a replica stands in Płock Cathedral.
Master Abraham added his signature to the door in the 15th century, making it one of few medieval artworks with documented craftsman modifications.
