St. Honore Portal 6

Trumeau

The famous image of the Golden Virgin was inserted c.1250 to take the place of the originally-intended image of Bishop Honoré.  The existing statue (above) is a replica from c.1983.  The original image has been taken inside (below) where it was one of the first pieces to be subject to laser cleaning c.1992.

Photogrammetric model of the original trumeau statue can be viewed here.
