This sculpture was made to fit into an arching space, called a tympanum, over the entrance doors to a church in France in about A.D. 1120.
Bodies were not important for their own sakes to this artist, and the figures do not try to look like real bodies. The artist wanted to make a beautiful pattern on the flat stone that would also fit the space of the arch, and he wanted to convey a religious meaning.
