The fragmentary character on this side raises questions.
It has long been interpreted as a representation of the Virgin Mary, who is mentioned in the gospel text describing this episode. However, a close observation of the preserved sculpture shows that the garment is not a dress but rather a tunic and a cloak held together by a brooch. When compared to other depicted figures, this clothing is typically masculine.
If Léon Pressouyre's interpretation is correct, and the figure on the right is Christ, this central character could perhaps be the Master of ceremonies, warning the groom that the wine is running out.
In the 12th century, it was not uncommon to associate the figure of Christ with that of the groom in the Wedding at Cana.
The absence of the Virgin in a scene depicting the Wedding at Cana is an exception in medieval art.
