It's high nave is spanned by ogival pointed arches to form the vault, and the walls are supported by double flying buttresses.

Our Lady of Orcival - Puy-de-Dôme

In form and iconography, the statue is closely modelled on the celebrated “Golden Virgin” commissioned by the Bishop of Clermont in 946, a cult image that was destroyed during the Revolution when it was melted down for coinage. On stylistic and material grounds, the Orcival Virgin is now dated to c. 1170, making it a later but faithful reinterpretation of the earlier episcopal image.
