Fragment of a Relief with Three Clerics in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Fragment of a Relief with Three Clerics in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007
Fragment of a relief with three clerics
Limestone
France, Champagne or Ile-de-France, about 1160-1180

Accession #: 47.101.22

Although its origin is unknown, this early example of tomb decoration incorporating mourning clerics closely resembles some of the tomb figures at Reims Cathedral. The metallic precision of the carving and the abundant folds of drapery falling in a chevron pattern link the fragment to goldsmiths' work.

Text from the Cloisters label.
