This alabaster relief, "Altar Predella and Socle of Archbishop Don Dalmau de Mur y Cervelló", was created by Francí Gomar between 1453 and 1461. It is a fine example of the Catalan Gothic style, featuring intricate carvings and a focus on religious imagery. The relief depicts a figure holding a shield, set within a decorative frame. The piece was originally part of an altar dedicated to the Archbishop Don Dalmau de Mur y Cervelló, and it was commissioned by the archbishop himself. The intricately carved architectural details and the depiction of the saint's coat of arms contribute to the grandeur and solemnity of the piece. The relief is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
