Allaines-Mervilliers
Prache´s "Ile de France Romane".
Anne Prache mentions, that in the hamlet of Mervilliers is a former church with a remarkable tympanum. In found a large farm in Mervilliers, entered and tried to find anybody to ask. But there was nobody at home. This was private property and I did feel uneasy, walking around, knocking on doors and shouting "Allo" and "Coucou"......
I finally found a small wooden garden gate. I pushed it open, entered, turned around - and there was the tympanum (previous upload).
Here is a closer look on the tympanum´s left side.
A knight in full armour makes a donation to Saint George (only George´s hand can be seen), while his squire on the left holds the knight´s horse. Some see this as the infeudation of a knight, what I doubt. The artistic style is not really elegant, but a bit rough. Note the oversized heads and hands.
Here is a French website about the tympanum:
