Pulpit: an angle figure

1301
Marble
Sant'Andrea, Pistoia

As at the Siena pulpit, angle figures separate the narrative scenes. The angle carvings serve to link the narrative reliefs between them so that the sculpted decoration of the pulpit is fused into a rhythmic whole.

The figure of the deacon is at the left of the Nativity scene.
