Exterior view of high relief carved tympanum on one set of side doors for the western entrance to Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Bourges. Shadows are cast heavily onto the right interior side of the tympanum obscuring the high relief sculpture on the archway highlighting the central figure of Saint Ursin for whom the door is named and whose hagiography (saint's life) is recounted in the sculpted archway.
