medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
For what its worth coming from a non-art historian,
this image (especially coming from a site with "ecosse" in
its link) suggests the Lindisfarne gospels or one of the
other famous insular ones.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and

While I was searching in vain for the image Carlos
sought, I happened upon this image:
http://sites.ecosse.net/spandsacos/allnew/art/matt1.jpg
It is Saint Matthew and, for what it's worth, the halo
bears a great resemblance to the Januarius one in
question at the moment.
When I first saw the catacomb image, I thought it was
Christ in the center, Mary at the right, and the
smaller figure at the left, a saint. My thinking was
that they were "sized" according to their importance
or status.
