Stone Head of an Apostle, 13th Century — Île-de-France

A stone head depicting a bearded man, likely an apostle. The forehead is high and rounded above almond-shaped eyes.

The hair, carved in spiral waves, falls over the ears down to the nape of the neck. The mustache and beard, with S-shaped strands, frame a slightly open mouth, the lips drawn back in a subtle smile.
