ROMANESQUE SANDSTONE SCULPTURE, South-west of France mid 12th century. An eagle intertwined with branches and leaves, from a porch.

€ 2600

Stylistically this sculpture belongs to the tradition initiated at the construction of Angoulême Cathedral. The common features spread throughout Poitou-Charente with close paralells found in e.g. Abbaye-aux-Dames in Saintes

The sandstone of the sculpture is porous with some damage and ageing, but the outlines are still distinct.

Provenance:

Private ruined chapel in Les Landes
