The carved tympanum depicts the Harrowing of Hell: Christ piercing a figure of Satan with the cross, while three souls representing the jaws of Hell rise from the head of a serpent. The tympanum sits within a smaller inner arch above the doorway, the arch of which has an inner order of chevrons, and an outer order of chevrons, 'limpet shells', and lozenges.
