Can you guess what the above is?

Medieval Stove at V&A Museum

At first glance and probably second you might think it is some kind of pulpit where you can deliver a sermon to patient congregation but actually this beautiful massive green tiled artifact is a Medieval stove built in Germany between 1577 – 1588.  This is currently in exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum.  It is worth a visit to see this piece of history which is in perfect condition.

This stove was used to heat a large room. It is move like a fireplace than an aga!
