Saint Martin Sharing his Mantle with a Poor Man

The south side of the capital shows the episode of Saint Martin of Tours (316/317 or 336 – 397) dividing his cloak.
Saint Martin on horseback turns to the beggar kneeling behind him. He has unsheathed his sword, in order to cut his mantle in two. He grasps the garment in his left hand, and hands it down to the poor man.
The saint is bearded, has long hair, and is dressed in a tunic as well as a cloak, which is fastened over his right shoulder like a Roman military paludamentum.
The empty scabbard of his sword hangs from his belt.
The representation of the horse is very detailed, with mane, long tail, bridle and saddle. It raises one of its front hooves.
The beggar on the east side of the capital is dressed in no more than a loincloth. His ribs stand out clearly on his naked torso. He stretches up his arms to Martin.
On the west side is a figure dressed in a tunic and with a cloak thrown over his shoulder. He could be the beggar after Martin had presented him with his mantle.
One of the capitals on the north portal of the church shows the same episode in a similar composition.
