On the right, near the division of the two halves, is the double ambo, supported by four beautiful columns and two small pilasters, with integrated lecterns borne by the eagle of St John and the lion of St Mark. To one side is the fine Paschal candlestick (12C). a wonderful piece of sculpture, tall, slender and richly decorated: its square pedestal is formed by four lions intent on mauling two men and two animals; a braid of plant-like branches intertwines the figures of wild beasts and an armed man preparing to defending himself. Above, Christ sits in a mandoria supported by angels, holding the Gospels in His hand, while, below, a figure in bishop's clothing kneels before Him (possibly Roger II himself). Two tiers of birds (vultures pecking the tails of slender storks) support three figures representing the three ages of man. The acute sense of realism of these figures might suggest they are of a later date; perhaps the figures were added when the candlestick was moved, and required further refinement.
