Clermont-Ferrand - Notre-Dame-Du-Port

Clermont-Ferrand - Notre-Dame-Du-Port
The capitals in the Basilica Notre-Dame-Du-Port are very elaborate. This one differs from the most. The carving style is - compared to the Rotbertus works - quite simple and it is very weathered. Maybe it has been on an outside wall for upto the great restauration during the 19th century.

I see two men fighting, holding up their shields - and inbetween the head of a devil, with the typical evil hairstyle. Well, from the right knight, only the shield (note the shield boss) and a part of the arm is to be seen - but he is there. Just around the edge.
