Andlau - Saints-Pierre-et-Paul
Richardis, wife of Charles III (aka "Charles the Fat") and so "Holy Roman Empress", founded the abbey in Andlau ca 880. Later she lived here (as the abbess). She was known for her piety and so she was canonised, when Pope Leo IX paid a visit to the abbey in 1049.
Another frame of the frieze in Andlau. Actually I do not see a connection between the three carvings. The used stones differ in colour, a (soft) grey sandstone, a red stone and a yellow one.
To the left a rider on a camel. What an exotic animal! The camel has two humps and the rider is using a scourge. The camel is carved pretty correct. Many participants of the first cruisade, that started 1096, had seen camels.
In the middle a captured man, a rope around his neck, led by a man-like figure with the head of a dog, or of a sheep. Is there a dog-head demon in medieval literature? Maybe even with the head of an ape, reversing the often used icon "ape led by man" - see here: www.flickr.com/photos/martin-m-miles/5344006969/
To the right a huge dragon, a chimare with a gryphon head, two human arms, three fish-tails and two duck-feet. The dragon devours two snakes, he holds in his hands.
