EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a unique and intricately carved misercord, located in the choir stalls of Rouen Cathedral in France. Dating back to the 1910s, this wooden sculpture depicts a strange and enchanting female creature. The creature's features are a mesmerizing blend of the familiar and the fantastical. Her humanoid form is draped in flowing robes, but her head is adorned with the wings and tail of a chimera, a mythical beast with the body of a lion, the head of a goat, and the tail of a serpent. Her feet, however, bear the distinctive features of a crow's feet, adding an unexpected element to her appearance. Despite her unusual appearance, the creature is depicted in a serene and gentle pose. She cradles a heart in her right hand, offering it up to the viewer with an open and inviting expression. The delicate carving showcases the skill and artistry of the craftsman who created it, as well as the rich cultural heritage of Rouen Cathedral. The misercords in the choir stalls of Rouen Cathedral are a testament to the enduring power of art and imagination. They provide a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the beliefs and values of the people who created them. This particular misercord, with its strange and enchanting creature, is a reminder that even the most unexpected and unusual forms can hold deep meaning and beauty.
