Abbaye de Cadouin

Stone sculptures in the Abbaye de Cadouin. The sculpture shows fan vaulting on both sides. On the left, the carvings are of monks and on the right side is a scene with jesus holding the cross and what appears to be the virgin Mary looking on. On the bottom to the right are small carvings of angels.  The background wall has the remains of a fresco with Christian figures and where it looks like there used to be scripture writing.
