Retaud Daniel

At Retaud, Daniel is portrayed holding the front legs of the flanking lions, which in typical Romanesque manner, have individual bodies, but share a head on the corner of the capital. Daniel is seated, in the slay-legged pose often seen in exhibirionist carvings, yet is fully clothed. Else where (at Ste Aulaye fo example) in the same pose, he is naked, perhaps giving credence to the idea of the apotropaic power of the sexually exhibiting form.
