medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Great pics.  The architectural lump looks as if it might be finished to some extent around the sides (the pattern doens't break suddenly but seems purposely ended), and from what I can see the top front edge might be finished to a couple of inches in depth, but then is rough.  The cornice part of the entablature over a door?

all best

apologies for cross-posting

I have just posted to my online archive three pages of photos from the Lateran Baptistery in Rome, and one sarcophagus in the Vatican. These can all be accessed from the Rome location page:
http://www.KornbluthPhoto.com/Rome.html

Much more from the Vatican will be posted soon. The Lateran Baptistery images include the octagon, narthex, Chapel of St. Venantius, and exterior. I was blown away by the C5 and C7 mosaics, so those are liberally documented.
One question for the list: there is a chunk of architectural sculpture displayed just outside the narthex (on my exterior page). Does anyone know what this is?

As always, corrections are welcome!

best to all,
Genevra
