Capital from Elne Cloister, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Sculpted stone capital from Elne Cloister, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, 12th century, displayed at the Abbey of St Mary of Lagrasse. The relief depicts medieval knights wearing chainmail armour, some riding horses, with a seated man, possibly a king. The Romanesque cloister at Elne was built 12th - 14th centuries at the Cathedral of Sainte-Eulalie-et-Sainte-Julie which was consecrated in 1069. Its capitals are carved by craftsmen of the Roussillon area. Picture by Manuel Cohen
