Detail of the right-hand leaf
         of the bronze doors of the
         Baptistery, by Andrea Pisano.
         The force of their impact
         against the architraves, as
         the water burst them inwards,
         caused the diagonal crack
         which runs across the door.
         The hole is left by one of the
         missing panels, Fides. At the
         top left, the gap from a
         sheared-off section of bronze
         framnig.
