Sandstone sculpture depicting the head of Christ, dating from the Romanesque period (Xᵉ - XIIᵉ century). Its spare, expressive style is typical of Romanesque art, where simplicity of form serves a profound spirituality. The face, imbued with solemnity, features stylized features and an intense gaze, characteristic of this period.
The Romanesque period was marked by strong religious fervor and the development of sacred art, notably through sculpture destined for churches and monasteries. This carved head, probably part of a larger ensemble, bears witness to this artistic and spiritual context.
The work rests on a wooden base, highlighting its ancient character and remarkable presence. An authentic piece steeped in history, ideal for lovers of medieval art.
