Evrecy (Calvados) the monastery Springing stone 8th or 9th century

This springing stone in limestone, which has broken into two pieces, is decorated with a frame formed by a thin band in which a foliage decoration in the form of small palms is developed, arranged symmetrically either side of a vertical central groove. From the pedicle of these small palms there are coils standing out in the form of scrolls. This piece has been badly reddened by fire.
