Grey Abbey (Down)
The curious and weathered corbel on a shifted corbel table
on an early 13th century Cistercian foundation
is a headless figure facing the wall with mask-like heads at its shoulders,
anal hole (enlarged by weathering),
and enormous scrotum.

Compare with a very similar and earlier corbel at Sablonceaux (Charente-Maritime)...

...and with a corbel at Lussac-et-Nontronneau (Dordogne)
representing the 'unnatural' sin of performing acrobatics...

... and with a similar figure on the tower at Wymondham (Leicestershire)
photographed by Tina Negus.
