Rouffach - Notre Dame de l'Assomption

The architecture of Notre Dame de l'Assomption, the parish church of Rouffach, about 20kms south of Colmar, is a mixture of romanesque and gothique style.

The pretty huge building suffered heavy damage during the French
Revolution.

On the walls of the older parts of "Notre Dame de l'Assomption".
are some interesting romanesque carvings.

There are three sculptures, telling a story. A story I cannot tell, as I could not find the necessery parts to stitch it together and I could not find anybody in Rouffach who knew it.

Here is the second of the sculptures. The collegue of the guy with the horn. He wears the same in simple clothing. He as well is standing under a piece of "symbolic" architecture", but here it is a zigzag arch.

He could be, like his collegue, a servant, but he is holding or carrying something probably important. His left hand is "strange", there is no right arm. There is a sceptre? Or maybe a rolled document? He probably as well is a kind of herald, announcing the approaching of - the king? Or the archbishop? Or the emperor? Or the pope.
