In this detailed view of a bust corbel, we are transported into the medieval era where intricate sculptures adorned the walls of sacred spaces. The corbel itself is a work of art, possibly serving as the base for a crocketed image niche. It portrays a man with an impressive beard and coat, seemingly leaning out from within the stone wall. His gaze is intense yet mysterious, inviting us to ponder his story and significance within this historical context. Ursula Clark's expert photography captures every fine detail and texture of this remarkable sculpture with precision and clarity.
