12. The Ascension is not remarkably inter- 

 esting ; the Christ appears to be, but perhaps 

 is not, a much more modern figure than the 

 rest. 



13. The Descent of the Holy Ghost. Some 

 of the figures along the end wall are very 

 good, and were, I should imagine, cut by 

 Tabachetti himself. Those against the two 

 side walls are not so well cut. 



14. The Assumption of the Virgin Mary. 

 The two large cherubs here are obviously by a 

 later hand, and the small ones are not good. 

 The figure of the Virgin herself is unexcep- 

 tionable. There were doubtless once other 

 figures of the Apostles which have disappeared ; 

 of these a single St. Peter (?), so hidden away 

 in a corner near the window that it can only 

 be seen with difficulty, is the sole survivor. 



15. The Coronation of the Virgin is of later 

 date, and has probably superseded an earlier 

 work. It can hardly be by the designer of the 

 other chapels of the series. Perhaps Tabachetti 

 had to leave for Crea before all the chapels at 

 Saas were finished. 



Lastly, we have the larger chapel dedicated
