Mosaic-style tympanum depicting St Thomas More about to be executed, above the entrance to his shrine in St Mary Moorfields. I have read that he was born in what is (now) the parish. #MosaicMonday #TympanumTuesday

The three kings arrive and present their gifts to the child Jesus: on lintel of Romanesque portal of Pieve Sant' Andrea in Pistoia.
Dated 1166, by Gruamonte, a sculptor/architect influenced by Pisa/Lucca style.
A rare portrayal, also related to Via Francigena pilgrimage.

3 in 1 for festive season.
At Cattedrale di San Zeno in Pistoia, Tuscany, Andrea della Robbia's remarkably small entrance makes a big impression: 1504 archivolt + portal features Virgin+child w host of angels in façade that was reconstructed 14-15th C.

C11th tympanum

Holy Trinity Church in Uppington, Shropshire
Holy Trinity Church in Uppington is mainly a Victorian building, though it does have some earlier features. Perhaps the most remarkable is the Norman doorway, which has an 11th-century tympanum above it. Thought to be either late Saxon or Early Norman, it depicts a wonderfully Intricate dragon.
