| Title: | Chartres Cathedral; Joseph, Judith (Sibyl), Jesus Son of Sirach; right embrasure, right portal, north transept |
|---|
| Notes: | Detail of bases (from left) of figures of Joseph, a Sibyl (?) or Judith (?), and Jesus Son of Sirach (right jamb, Old Testament portal, north transept). Joseph's socle represents a woman being enticed by a dragon; she may be Potiphar's wife and/or Israel listening to foreign gods (Jeremiah 3). If the central figure is Judith, the dog socle represents the young widow's faithfulness to her husband. Jesus Son of Sirach's socle of a workman on the Temple is the result of his being confused with Jeshua (Ezra 3), who rebuilt the Temple after the exile.
