Part of the "Tympanum of the Last Judgment" at Bourge Cathedral (Cathédrale St-Étienne). St Michael in the centre is Weighing Souls, on the right hand side of St Michael are the saved and move towards the figure of Abraham who holds the souls in a napkin. Those to the left of St Michael are the damned being led to hell by devils. The lower lintel shows the dead rising from their graves.
