dating from before 1120, when it was placed outside the new north transept, this effigy was long believed to be bishop losinga; the salomonic columns indicate holiness, and it seems that a dragon has been cut from beneath his feet and gabling from his head, but would such an effigy be moved from before the high altar where losinga was buried in 1119 to be placed outside within a year or so? whosoever this is, it is one of our earliest extant funerary effigies.
