Civray (Vienne)
Perhaps the largest of Romanesque exhibitionists (apart from
the Luxuria from
Ôo),
this figure is unavoidably visible, together with two bearded, non-exhibitionist
male figures and a bull's head
on the four pendentives of the dome.
The pendentives alternate with culs-de-lampe carved in the forms of
marvellous monsters,
presumably representing the jaws of Hell.
This is one of the relatively few churches to retain its original (but retouched) paint.
