The Pulpit for the exterior facade of the Cathedral in Prato, begun in 1428 and after long pauses finished ten years later, was executed by Donatello together with Pagno di Lapo and Michelozzo. Donatello was responsible for the architecture and the putti. Presently displayed in the Museum of the Opera del Duomo of Prato, it has been replaced on the outside with a copy.
