Cloister

Reference
:
Art historians have found many analogies between this capital and the one in the cloister at Moissac, which represents the same scene. This capital is attributed to the first atelier of La Daurade. The paleography of the inscription confirms this attribution and dates the capitals to the last years of the 11th century according to Lafargue. However, Durliat's date of post 1100 is now generally accepted.
