The tomb of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, commissioned in 1381 and completed after his death in 1410, presented a reclining statue of the duke placed upon a sculpted base. The latter, in the form of an elaborate gothic arcade, housed a series of diminutive figures of mourners, forming a procession around the base of the tomb as if in a cloister.
