The Catedral de Santiago Foundation
Santiago de Compostela, Spain

The capital that crowns this scene justifies with its iconography the divine descent of Christ, underlining its double nature. In the capital a Trinity is represented: God as paternitas embracing Christ in his lap, the child, and in the upper part, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. On the sides of the capital, angels with censers accompany the scene.
