Each corner is adorned with an emblematic symbol representing one of the evangelists: an angel for Matthew, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and an eagle for John. The craftsmanship exhibited in this piece is testament to the artistic brilliance prevalent during Europe's Middle Ages. Every line and curve has been meticulously carved into stone, showcasing immense skill and dedication by its creator.
