The intrados of the northern arm is adorned with a sumptuous festoon of vegetation and fruit, emerging from two different opposing baskets, one to the west and the other to the east. The western section features a vase, where ochre and gold tesserae imitate the delicate weaving of wicker. Against a white and silvery background, figs, pomegranates and olives emerge, depicted through subtle colour transitions, framed by tender green leaves.
These fruits – symbols of the Promised Land – represent abundance and well-being. At the centre of the intrados lies the monogram of Christ and as the garland stretches eastward towards the second basket from which it originates, the fruits seem to ripen and open up, bathed in divine light.
