Head (Perhaps of an Angel) in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Head (Perhaps of an Angel) in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Head, perhaps of an Angel
Limestone
France, Ile-de-France, about 1250

Accession # 1990.132

The angelic smile and playful treatment of the hair distinguish this beautifully executed head as a key Parisian sculpture from the 13th century. Several stylistic and technical features link it with sculpture made for Notre-Dame Cathedral, but its exact origin and function are unknown.
