Pont-de-Salars - Saint-Georges

There may have been a settlement already in the 9th century on the banks of the river Viaur, a church was obviously erected within the 12th century.

According to a legend St. Georges´ horse jumping over the river Viaur left a mark of the hooves on a rock - inside the church. As the church was locked - I could not see the rock.

This incomplete "Majestas Domini" is over the (locked) portal.

I learned from the information given here, the carving was brought to Saint-Georges to save it from destruction, when iconoclasts raided churches in Rodez.

I do not know, where it really came from, but it must have been the center of a very large tympanum. It actually looks like a twin of the "Majestas Domini" in Conques (40kms north of Rodez). It is a little rougher than the carving in Conques, but even details are the same.
