Description

The carved stones of these graves keep religious images of with beautiful vegetable motifs as if they were ship's figureheads in the direction of the afterlife. Also, some images and scenes making reference to a new religion are represented. They are the proof of the propagation of the Christian faith in the south-east of Gaul.

The slightly enigmatic symbol shows constantly the concern of the first Christian believers trying to get a language to communicate, identify themselves or even adopt their ideology and devotions.

The necropolis located in the basement of the Saint-Raymon museum in Toulouse guard a small but amazing collection of Christian sarcophagus of the IV and V century A.D.

In this tombs there are roman models that could only be afforded by the richest inhabitants in the country. They are the most numerous influences and they are going to be furthest from the next roman influences, with vegetal stylized decoration, whose relief wasn’t quite highlighted , with abstract and geometrical patterns with braid-shaped or grapevine that could contain the Christ monogram. Such is the case of the piece we are describing. A decoration that creates the last abode and whose relieves shimmer with art and life, compared to the current trivial standardization.
