Capital, South portal, Basilique Saint-Denis
Carved capital with heads and leaves, from the South portal of the West facade, made 1135 and restored in 1839, at the Basilique Saint-Denis, Paris, France. Abbot Suger commissioned a relief of the martyrdom of St Denis on the tympanum of the portal, and was introducing a hagiography of St Denis with this imagery. The basilica is a large medieval 12th century Gothic abbey church and burial site of French kings from 10th - 18th centuries. Picture by Manuel Cohen
