Stone relief from Elne Cloister, Languedoc-Roussillon
Sculpted stone relief from Elne Cloister, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, 12th century, displayed at the Abbey of St Mary of Lagrasse. The relief appears to depict a kneeling monk receiving a blessing, with others inside a building, possibly a monastery, one holding a spear and one blowing a horn. 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 from the Roussillon area. Picture by Manuel Cohen
