## Commentary

The outer supports of the pulpit consist of columns standing on low plinths or lions, or of full-length figures. Above rise the arches richly carved with exuberant acanthus scrolls, with Prophets in the spandrels and standing Sibyls above the capitals. The parapet, set between corbelled cornices, appears to be circular, but the statues at the corners, set on projecting, semicircular platforms, define its octagonal plan. On the sides are the reliefs.
