From the museum record

According to the Old Testament, Daniel was cast into a lion’s den as punishment for his belief in a single god, but he was miraculously delivered from harm on account of his faith. This story is related here, with Daniel flanked by lions and the angel sent by God to save him. Together with other decorated capitals, this imposing work of Romanesque sculpture once decorated the interior of the church of Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, a city in central France.

Lupin’s visual index

A weathered, grey marble fragment depicts a seated Roman figure with elaborate architectural details and flanking animal sculptures.
