Carved limestone capital historiated on all four sides: Christ triumphant framed by a saint holding an open book and by a woman at prayer resisting the Devil; Saint Abbot rescuing a helmeted knight, sword at his belt, between two standing figures, followed by another abbot for one of them; and, furnishing two sides and one corner, a scene of the devouring of a man held by two single-headed monsters with coiled tails. Different abacuses on each face: checkerboard topped by a molding, in the form of a cove with two registers of fleurons with interlaced stems and stylized horizontal foliage, same theme reversed on another face, prismatic decoration in a square. Square fixing mortise on the underside.
Anjou, early 12th century
