Animals: dog, symbol of fidelity and loyalty, and the ass and the horse, essential to everyday life, chickens and a fox, the fox represents the devil, the dove, symbol of peace, the eagle ?
Fantastic animals the Medusa, mermaids which represent the dangers of the unknown- the basilisk born from an egg of a cockerel hatched dragon.
Flowers and fruits: Rosaceae, carnations, tulips, sunflowers, bluebells, fruit of the vine ?
other patterns: hearts, angels, bells, lilies, and arms.
One human is represented, it is a shepherd holding a stick. It is the only figure that is not present in duplicate in the church and is located on the left side of the building.
