The iconography of the capital

The capital is dedicated to two episodes from the childhood and two episodes from the adult life of Christ.

This capital was used as a support for a cross in the commune of Fagnières, close to Châlons. The capital then became part of the collections of the municipal museum (now the Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology) of Châlons before joining the collections of the Cloister Museum of Notre Dame en Vaux.

This capital is an example of the transfer of works from one Châlons museum to another.
