L’archivolto poggia su due capitelli sorretti da colonne ottagonali, rette a loro volta da due possenti buoi (ad altezza d’uomo) che sembrano uscire dal muro. Poggianti su grosse mensole, i buoi rivolgono il loro sguardo paziente e sereno verso il portone. Nonostante che il loro simbolismo sia alquanto insolito nel mondo ecclesiale, i buoi si ritrovano ancora a tirare un carro nella parte centrale dell’arco terminale degli stipiti. È probabile che facessero parte di un edificio del palazzo del Catepano, e che fossero successivamente reimpiegati per il portale della Basilica. ( I buoi sono senza corna e orecchie, ci sono i buchi)
--------------------------------------
The archivolt rests on two capitals supported by octagonal columns, supported in turn by two mighty oxen (at human height) that seem to come out of the wall. Resting on large shelves, the oxen turn their patient and serene gaze towards the door. Despite the fact that their symbolism is quite unusual in the ecclesial world, the oxen still find themselves pulling a cart in the central part of the terminal arch of the jambs. It is likely that they were part of a building in the Palazzo del Catepano, and that they were later reused for the portal of the Basilica.
( The oxen are without horns and ears, there are holes)
