Often identified as the head of a statue of Saint-Maurice modelled after Jeanne d'Arc, but more likely the head of a statue of Saint George. The head is in polychrome stone, and of considerably high quality, most likely made in the late 15th or early 16th century (the style of the sallet belongs to the mid 15th century).

My great x8ish uncle was burned at the stake for heresy in 1555 in England during the Marian Persecutions. Died for his Protestant beliefs so I could one day be a good Catholic like he should have been.


This went from a really interesting fact to one of the funniest posts I have ever read on here

Catholic church: "Sorry about all the burning at the stake thing. Hopefully giving you the saint "thing" will make up for it. Do you want some burn cream?"
