| Title: | Chartres Cathedral; Sarah, Abraham, Hagar, Adam, Eve; jamb figures, left embrasure, left portal, west facade |

| Notes: | Three north portal column figures (a king standing between two queens, seen from waist down, possibly Sarah, Abraham and Hagar) and their bases. From left to right: the pedestal figures depict a man with snakes encircling his body, a queen standing on a dragon, and an ape with other animals. The meaning of the base figures is unknown, although it has been suggested that they represent Adam, the new Eve, the serpent. [Villette, pg. 62-63] Digitized from the slide collection of James T. Womack, Nashville, TN. |
