Tanner's question

In reference to Tanner's question: who are those people? Those are "prophets and patriarchs," according to the site I will list below. Thus the togas.

In reference to another question: yes, those are original stained glass. Some by Duccio, and the earliest stained class still remaining in Italy. Thanks for asking, I didn't know about this. They can be seen at the link below.

For an amazing look at Siena Cathedral, inside and out, as well as all the 172 pope heads which I missed this past summer when I was there: http://www.digital-images.net/Gallery/Scenic/Siena/Cathdrl_Int/cathdrl_int.html     Well, will have to go back.
