Romanesque corbel.-1

Romanesque corbel. South West of France.

Hairless and stylized mask with almond-shaped eyes and hollow pupils. Piece from the collection of Doctor Stephen Chauvet (1885-1950) and probably coming from the surroundings of Monpazier (Dordogne) where he had a residence and collected works from this period during the Second World War.

Related works: the Romanesque church of Aigleparse (12th century) located near Monpazier presents corbels of very similar style, and worked in the same type of rock.
