At the top of the triumphal arch, facing the nave, is Christ surrounded by the four evangelists. (The winged calf symbolising Luke has a face that could have inspired Picasso.) Below them, 12 lambs emerge from the holy cities of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. These mosaics are probably from the 9th century.
