view of church interior - capital

Scene Description: Source caption: "intérieur église de Sauveplantade" -- one of two capitals of the interior which the Wikipedia entry for this church mentions as being akin to those in a 7thC Visigothic church in Spain: "L'église possède deux curieux chapiteaux posés sur les piliers à l'ouest de la croisée. Leur forme les rapproche des chapiteaux wisigothiques et mozarabes d'Espagne, par exemple ceux de l'église San Pedro de la Nave, du VIIe siècle. Ce sont probablement des chapiteaux de la première église." [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Église_Saint-Pierre_de_Sauveplantade] [accessed 5 April 2025]
