Head of a Youth, ca. 1230–50, Made in Île-de-France or Champagne, French, Limestone, 6 7/8 x 6 13/16 x 4 15/16 in. (17.5 x 17.3 x 12.5 cm), Sculpture-Stone, This clean face does not appear to have been part of a full head but rather was incorporated, masklike, into a corbel. The tonsured hair would be appropriate for a monastic context. The face is strikingly similar to those on a corbel near the chapter house at the royal abbey of Saint-Denis
