The carved tympanum above the front entrance of the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption was created by sculptor Clement J. Barnhorn. Barnhorn was commissioned in 1914 by Bishop Maes of the Cathedral to create the carving, which was sculpted out of Bedford limestone. The relief depicts the Assumption of Mary, the patroness saint of the Cathedral, into Heaven.
