Raimundo de Borgoña sepulchre

The image shows one of the tombs located in the Chapel of the Relics, which together with the rest make up the Royal Pantheon of Compostela. Its identification has traditionally been attributed to Raimundo de Borgoña, although, given its characteristics, it could also be the tomb of the infant Fernando Alfonso, bearing in mind that the transfer of the Pantheon to its current location, in the 16th century cloister building, currently makes it difficult to identify the tombs.
Overall, the tomb is characterised by its sobriety. The face of the figure depicted describes a thin oval and is boyish, beardless, with a narrow, high nose and pronounced chin, as described by Serafín Moralejo. The clothes he wears are typical of a nobleman, with a sackcloth, a rope cloak and a hairstyle that was new for the fashion of the time, where the absence of a crown excludes his royal status. The sculpture lacks insignia or institutional features, which makes it difficult to identify.
