Horder (sculptor)
Horder or Horderus, also known as the Djursland Master, was a Danish stonemason who was active around the end of the 12th century.

Given their shallow dimensions, the reliefs may originally have been painted. They depict either Biblical scenes or animals. Horder's main works are the church portals of Rimsø, Vejlby and Ørsted and the font in Holbæk Church. The fonts are typically decorated with ropes along all
