15th Century Carved Stone Head Sculpture
A 15th Century Carved Stone Head.
Possibly depicting the decapitated head of St.Dennis.
I know this is a long shot as it is a fragment of the original sculpture but it reminds me of the sculpture of St.Denis in the Cluny Museum (image attached)
Saint Denis was a missionary sent from Italy to spread Catholicism in the city of Paris. Startled by the number of all Catholic conversions that took place on his behalf, the local pagan priests felt threatened by him and sentenced him to death. His decapitation took place in 250 AD, in Montmartre.
According to the legend, once decapitated, he stood up, picked up his severed head from the dirt and walked 6 km to the North, preaching a sermon the entire way. Amazingly, he even stopped to rinse his head off along the way.
A rare survivour of turbulent times that is very decorative and displays well,it has a natural weathered surface and definition. Shop open Thursday -Saturday or by appointment ,please call before arriving and I will make sure I am available
