view of church exterior - south portal - detail

Scene Description: "En el muro sur a la altura del segundo tramo de la nave abre una interesante puerta de arco de medio punto dovelado [...] Su tímpano está decorado con una cruz de Jerusalén rodeada de símbolos e inscripciones de difícil interpretación. Las impostas se decoran con toscas figuras de animales y personajes, boca abajo al estilo de algunas esculturas del valle de Arán."

view of church exterior - south portal - tympanum

Scene Description: "Su tímpano está decorado con una cruz de Jerusalén rodeada de símbolos e inscripciones de difícil interpretación. [...] Destaca la gran cruz centrándolo, rodeada de simbología de difícil interpretación por fuera de sus cuatro cuadrantes: triángulo con tau inscrita, marca de cantero ("beta") tumbada y "MAR", cruz tetrafoliada sobre doble círculo concéntrico (que se repite al interior del tímpano), ¿mano? en el interior de la cual aparecen dos marcas de cantero: la "N" y de nuevo la "beta" invertida con respecto a la superior así como una esquemática serpiente/dragón cornudo.[...] En la orla exterior del tímpano, a la izquierda, epigrafiado con letras de muy tosca factura, de trazos excesivamente rectos, hallamos el nombre de "PETRVS" así como algunos símbolos más a nuestra derecha, incomprensibles".
