This springing stone from an archivolt of unknown origin was carved in limestone at the end of the 11th or early 12th century.
It is decorated with a simple geometrical motif often found in Normandy: a sequence of four-pointed stars which are carved in a concave circular area, with each branch creating the effect of a rose.Dimensions of the object
