Bellenaves - Saint-Martin

Bellenaves - Saint-Martin
The parish church of Bellenaves, dedicated to Saint Martin, was a part of priory, when it was built in the second half of the 12th century.

The carvings in- and outside the church differ totally in artistic style and technic. Here is a very elegant (marble?) capital.
Two large bearded men on the sides, a comparably gigantic head in the middle between them. The two men may fight or dance - or just step forward to "showcase" the head. Then this may be the head of John the Baptist.
