Capital, Church of St. Christopher of Rio Mau 1200

This Romanesque-style capital from the Church of St. Christopher of Rio Mau, dating back to the 1200s, features three figures carved in stone. The central figure, depicted in a seated position, holds a small object in their hand, possibly a book or a scroll. The figures on either side, with their faces partially obscured by the surrounding stonework, complete the composition. Romanesque sculpture often utilizes these architectural elements to tell stories and illustrate biblical themes. The capital's intricate detail and the figures' solemn expressions speak to the artistic skill and religious devotion of the era.
