Gravestone of the brothers Simonetta and Percivalle Lercari, buried on 16 August 1259, from the cemetery of the church and hospice of San Giovanni di Prè. The work, a mixture of sculpture, painting and goldsmithing, refers to the artistic culture in vogue at the time in the Île de France: represented in the form of an illuminated page at the centre of which is a silver plaque in the form of a church front in which the two deceased brothers are kneeling before the Madonna and Child.
