Pulpit

Pulpit, Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, Piazza San Giovanni, Volterra

Volterra, September 2021

“The pulpit has three reliefs depicting the Last Supper, the Annunciation, and the Sacrifice of Isaac, and the lions at the base of the columns are undoubtedly 12th-century works of the Guglielmo school, perhaps carved by the Pisan sculptor Bonamico. Other elements and the alabaster intarsia were added in 1584, when an earlier balustrade was dismantled and the pulpit was reconstructed.” (Volterra Cathedral, Wikipedia)
