Frame of The Guils Frontal
Late XIII century. Mortise-and-tenon joint, Policromado al temple.Room 051C
The Romanesque frame of this altarpiece frontal consists of simple mouldings attached to the painting by means of wooden pegs to create a fixed whole. Like the painting, the frame is polychromed in tempera using plain colours. Latin inscriptions on the upper moulding allude to the scenes depicted: on the left, “lapidabant Stefanu” (stoning of Stephen), and on the right, “sepelierunt Stefanu” (burial of Stephen).
