  • IN 1965 A ROMANESQUE marble portal was installed at the far end of the gallery to the left of the main staircase, as an appropriate entrance to the Medieval Galleries beyond (Figure 1). Acquired in 1947, the portal came originally from the ruined abbey church of San Nicol6, just outside the city gates of the small Umbrian hill town of Sangemini. This doorway looks strangely composite, with mismatchedjambs that had been parts of an earlier, Roman structure-apparently elements of the base of a statuebut were completely reworked to fit into the totally different concept of the doorway. Even their bases with sculpted lions are of unequal sizes and shapes. To mark the installation in the Museum, William Forsyth wrote an essay, "The Sangemini Doorway," for the Museum's Bulletin (June 1965, pp. 373-80), in which he traced the somewhat convoluted history of the doorway but did not go too deeply into unraveling the rather puzzling iconographical details of its decoration.
