The call to arms - North tympanum

The northern tympanum represents 'The Call to Arms'. A winged Goddess, symbolic of Mother Country, calls
her children to defend her. Two young warriors answer her appeal and kneel at her feet in homage and service.
The poet sings the songs of battle and wild beasts are held in leash for the coming struggle. A mother gathers her children fearfully to hear. An old man looks to the safety of his flock, while he fingers the weapons of his youth.
