Capitel (s. XI) - San Zoilo (v. 2)

sketchfab

Real Monasterio de San Zoilo (Carrión De Los Condes, Palencia). This is one of the six remaining capiteles from the Romanesque church (circa 1100) that are still in their original location, and it belongs to the nave of the epistle's two pillars that are embedded in the XVII century building. Iconography: Two lions held by their jaws by two men, while two birds rest on their backs, with a third feline head biting its tail. On the right face appears a bearded character holding a board or book. On the other side, a fully dressed figure seems to give warning or signal. This capitel has a great similarity with others, especially one in Jaca Cathedral and two in Loarre, places closely related to San Zoilo.
