EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of history, frozen in time. The image showcases a fragment of a pulpit with lectern, adorned with intricate sculptural work above the cathedral door. Today, this magnificent artwork can be found on display at the Museo Civico in Pescia. Dating back to the XIII-XIV centuries, this sculpture is an embodiment of the Middle Ages in Europe. It serves as a testament to the artistic genius and craftsmanship that flourished during this period. The male figure depicted in the artwork exudes strength and authority, representing an allegory for power or leadership. The symbolism within this masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. An eagle perched atop the lectern symbolizes freedom and vision while an imposing lion stands beside it, embodying courage and nobility. These animals were commonly used as symbols throughout European art during medieval times.

This stunning image serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with human civilization – conveying abstract concepts and symbolic meanings that transcend time itself. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past, appreciating both their aesthetic value and historical significance as they continue to inspire us today
