The adoration of the Magi. St. Mary holds the child, sitting on a chair. Her face and the childs face are destroyed. Behind them is a large nimbs. The three Magi standing on the left. All bodies (very slim and long) are placed on top of two creatures. The left seems to be a bull or ox (hoofs and horns), the right could be a lion (mane). Around this central group are five angels. Four of them blow horns (oliphants?), one tall angel stands behind Mary and is writing into a book. The round flowerlike carving left to the nimbus may be the star that led the Magi. The lintel depicts Adam and Eve on the left, followed by "The Meal at the House of Simon the Pharisee", as only there Marie-Madeleine wipes Jesus' feet with her hair. Though the disciples have different looks and gestures, the legs, the feet and even the pleats of the garments below the table - are nearly identical.

The right capital flanking the lintel depicts a scene from the "Book of Daniel". 14,33 And the angel of the Lord said to Habacuc: Carry the dinner which you have into Babylon, to Daniel, who is in the lions' den. 14,34 And Habacuc said: Lord, I never saw Babylon, nor do I know the den. 14,35 And the angel of the Lord took him by the top of his head, and carried him by the hair of his head, and set him in Babylon, over the den, in the force of his spirit. 14,36 And Habacuc cried, saying: O Daniel, you servant of God, take the dinner that God has sent you.
