0 an eardrum (= a thin piece of skin inside the ear that moves backwards and forwards when sound waves reach it, allowing you to hear sounds)
Together the lintel and tympanum were a visual analogue of the canticle antiphons.
The tympana of 11r-15r include the heads of the evangelist symbols (often drastically cropped); while those of 10v, 15v and 16r are purely decorative.
These arches, with see-through fasciae and tympanums ornamented with elements of various colours constitute the main decorating feature.
The tympanum of the ear is sunken and is less than a fourth of the diameter of the eye.
The faade is topped by a tympanum also divided into three parts, the central one featuring a lozenge.
Such an organ is generally a membrane (tympanum) stretched across a frame backed by an air sac and associated sensory neurons.
A lateral fold extends from the eye to the posterior portion of the tympanum.
The most notable feature of the church is the elaborately sculpted south portal, particularly the tympanum.
