I have collected some images of the Archivolt carvings above the Leoni door of the church of San Nicola in Bari, Italy, early 12th century (http://warfare.gq/12/Bari-Leoni_door_archivolt.htm). Does anyone know of other photos of this?
The archivolt over the Porta della Pescheria, the north portal of the Cathedral of Modena, which illustrates a version of the Arthurian story of the rescue of Guinevere who is held prisoner by Meleagant (http://warfare.gq/12/Modena_Archivolt.htm) is thought to be based on the Leoni door, Bari, carvings; so it may also show this legend. The names of characters are engraved in Modena but not in Bari. (I have also added a large image of Calvariun (Galeschin?) on the Modena Archivolt (http://warfare.gq/12/Modena_Archivolt-6.htm) to my collection.)
The Bari carvings include many figures in Byzantine style lamellar armour.
Also from the church of San Nicola in Bari are Italo-Norman carvings of soldiers around the west door (http://warfare.gq/12/Bari-west_door.htm). Anyone know of other photos of these?
