Gothic period prophet's head sculpture. 14th century.

Handsome bearded face framed by curly hair emerging from the prophet's cap. This head is very expressive and shows a thoughtful man in age. This Gothic sculpture in the round can be compared to 14th century sculptures from the North of France, some coming from the disappeared cathedrals of Arras, Boulogne-sur-mer and Cambrai. A probable origin for this Gothic sculpture coming from a collection in the Saint-Omer region is the Saint-Bertin Abbey.
