frenchhistory: Pied de Croix de Saint-Bertin, vers 1180 ©Musées de Saint-Omer Cuivre doré, fondu, ciselé, gravé, émaux champlevés Hauteur en cm 31.5, Diamètre de la base en cm. 22.5, Diamètre maximal en cm 29.5 Objet d’art @credits This foot cross comes from the former abbey of Saint Bertin, and until recently it was considered as a smaller copy of the cross Saint Suger ordered for Saint Denis. The foot should have been used for a huge cross. The base is round, ornated around a disk by vegetal patterns, upon which the four evangelists are sitting and who are used to support the cross. You can recognise the evangelists by their symbols, placed above them, between the base and the squared column. Saint Luke is under a winged bull, writing over his desk. Saint Matthew stops writing and turns to face the angel coming towards him. Saint John is turning as well. More information can be found there (in French)
