Anonymous. Small Pillar of Chancel: Face Unculpted. Carved limestone stone. Vi-uxth century. Paris, Carnavalet museum. Three of the four sides of this pillar are decorated. Its vertical edges are underlined by a molding whose oblique parallel incisions evoke the torsade. The other slice, simply erect, has large shoulders at its base and at its top. One of the main faces is occupied by a fairly crushed setting of execution a human head in round-bump surmures a interlacing (in the shape of a Eight) double -strand whose almond reserves are stamped with slightly patted cross, inscribed in lusing frames underlined with a twisted molding. The character's eyes are dug to evoke the pupil. The mouth, mutilated, was to be gaping. The other face of the pillar represents a purely vegetable interlacing, decorated with leaves and undoubtedly with stylized grape clusters. 4th face, chancel, limestone, pillar, archeological vestige
