Description
West Façade, Left Portal
Detail- center of lintel
Four haloed men sitting on what appears to be a long bench or seat. They hold books and look upwards. Though many scholars think they are apostles at the Ascension, Fassler argues they are Old Testament prophets who prefigured the Second Coming of Christ (Fassler, p, 509).
