The Adoration of the Magi and Joseph's Dream
1120-60
Tympanum of the north portal, Abbey of St. Giles, Gard, France
Mary sits on a throne and the child sits on her lap, his right hand blessing the three Magi, one of whom kneels and holds his gift aloft. On the right, the angel warns Joseph to take the family to Egypt to escape Herod (Matthew 2:13).
All faces have been chiseled away, perhaps during the Huguenot occupation of the church in the 16th century.
