Descripción
Latticed screen between the choir and body of the church, particularly the low screens that served to separate the chancel from the nave. Cancellos were widespread in the Early Christian period, particularly in Rome, and continued throughout the Middle Ages. This early form of screen was gradually expanded into the higher, deeper, and generally more elaborate rood screen.
