This elegant head from a statue is characteristically Gothic in appearance, with its symmetrical features and abundant, tight curls. Multiple layers of paint, traces of which remain, attest to the age of the head, which probably comes from the church of Saint-Pierre in Jumièges. When this church was rebuilt in 1332-35, up to fifteen pier or column statues of apostles and saints were installed in the choir, the eastern end of the church.
