Fleury-la-Montagne

Fleury-la-Montagne
The parish church of Fleury-la-Montagne has this interesting tympanum over the main entrance on the western side. This is flanked by two pillars with nicely carved capitals.

The is the left capital. Here its is all about music. A small donkey in the right plays the harp with its hoofs, while a ram with long horns on the left plays the violin. Unfortunately the ram looks over his shoulder, facing the audience behind the corner. So - I cut half of its face. Sorry!
