lots of work, building extensive terraces like that --presumably to gain

looks like fairly high quality 12th c. carving.
unusual iconography here :

an "Entry into Jerusalem" (? the only scene i can think of with a mounted

i've never seen that particular juxtaposition.
the Harrowing of Hell --if that's what it is-- is rather unusual, too
