Carved limestone corner capital decorated with a candle-bear - Lot 37
Carved limestone corner capital decorated with a candle-bearing angel. Kneeling in a posture of adoration, he holds a censer in his right hand; his wings are spread, and two caulicles are visible on either side of his head. Burgundy, second quarter of the 12th century H.: 44 cm - W.: 27 cm - D.: 26.5 cm (Visible erosion and damage, traces of mortaring) Analysis of the limestone suggests that this capital originated in the region between Dijon and Chalon-sur-Saône, as the material used belongs to the geological formations of the Côte Chalonnaise. We thank geologist Annie Blanc for analyzing this stone.
