topped by an elegant Nativity sculpture delimited by two arch undersides sculpted with angels and prophets and a sort of procession of half-length figures including Christ, Mary and male and female saints portrayed individually or in groups of three and flanked by angels and crosses. The Gothic crowning at the summit continues with floral decoration and figures of virtues and the church fathers. Later additions also include the two icons sculpted for the altars of St. John the Evangelist and St. Leonard, set in their present place only in the 17th century. (English)
