Description
Image shows the left side of the capital,
Salet identifies this capital as scenes from the life of John the Baptist. Other authorities such as Terrent and Aubert identify it as Christ confronting the woman taken in adultery.
On the left return, two figures face one another. The one on the right pulls the hair of the one on the left, while his other hand is on the inner arm of the other figure. The figure on the left pulls at the skirt of the figure on the right.
The central face of the capital contains two standing figures facing one another. They are separated by a trunk of a tree whose simple, sweeping foliage arcs upwards to form the volutes of the capital. The bearded figure at right has an elaborate halo. His right arm is raised in an open handed gesture The clean shaven figure on the left wears a shorter garment and appears to have its hands at its side or behind its back. Salet identifies this as Jesus receiving one of John's disciples (Matthew XI, 2-6).
