La tête sculptée dite de Regnaud de Mouçon provient plus probablement du gisant de l'évêque Pierre de Celle. A Sculpted Head of the Bishop Pierre de Celle.

Stylistically the head has often been compared with certain of those on the statues in the portais of the south façade of the cathedral of Chartres. This f…
