The Collections of The Hood and The Main Street Museum feature curious parallels. In this comparison of the great cathedrals of Europe, The Main Street Museum’s artifact is made of wood. The Hoods specimen (Piece Of Rouen Cathedral Pillar. 13.158.4267) is an unidentified, perhaps sedimentary, or limestone dates from the 12th century, c.e. but is not dusty.
