ogee arch on facade of St Mark's Basilica, Venice

The west front of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy has five 12th century portals: this ogee arch is immediately above the far-right hand portal. Its design appears to show eastern influences, perhaps reflecting the contact between Venice and trading partners from the East.
