Head in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Head in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Head
Sandstone
Germany (present-day France), Strasbourg, about 1280-1300

Accession # 2004.453

With its curly hair and furrowed brow, this arresting head bears comparison with the prophets on the central portal of the west facade of Strasbourg Cathedral, carved a generation after the Virgin displayed on the right. The red sandstone is typical for that region. Although the head certainly belonged to a column figure, it is unknown whether it was part of the sculptural program of Strasbourg Cathedral or pf another church in that city.
