102 KARLY CHRISTIAN ART. Chap. III. Amongst the monuments which bear characteristic fea tures of resemblance with the architectural style developed by the Cosmati family is that of Cardinal Anchera, now transferred to the Chapel del Crocifisso near the high altar of the church of S. Prassede. The cardinal’s extended frame lies on a slab, resting on a tomb, whose cornice is supported on slight pillars adorned with mo saics. The cloth which seems to fall over the sides of the slab, is adorned with the star and lily. Cardinal Anchera died in 1286, and the tomb bears that date. 1 Another monument of somewhat different character but of the thir teenth century, is that of the Savelli in the chapel of that family at Araceli. It is based on an old sarcophagus filled with bacchic ornaments, and is crowned by an edicule, on the summit of which is the statue of the Virgin hol ding the infant Saviour. Mosaics are let into the columns as in other monuments of the time of the Cosmati, yet this tomb is assigned to the Siennese Agostino and Agnolo, who are supposed to have executed it from the drawings of Giotto. 2 Of Johannes Cosme, who may not unnaturally be con sidered the son of Jacobo, monuments have been preserved, which reveal in him an universal talent for mosaic archi- maestro del Opera at Orvieto in 1290. 1300.

The tomb contains the bodies of Luca Sa velli, father of Honorius the IV th , who died 1266, and other members of the family. The latest date on the tomb is 1306. There is some resemblance between the tomb of Cardinal Anchera de scribed in the text and that of Boniface the VIII lh (1294—1303) in the W. transept of the Nuove Grotte in the basilica of S. Pietro at Rome, a tomb which Vasari, in the Giuntina edition, assigns to Arnolfo, saying that it is in scribed with his name. Cicognara gives an engraving of it (Vol. I, plate 22) adding in the text that the name of Arnolfo was not to be found there, and that the tomb is in the style of the Cosmati.
