poliphiloBack to Adderbury.
The corbel tables at the west end of the church are a compendium of the weird and wonderful.
Comical bird, bagpiper, winged lion, archer
Peasant, double-headed man/youth and age, mermaid
Zither player, long haired monster
Viol player, monster (human-headed flea?)
As I've noted before, Hieronymus Bosch wasn't the only late medieval artist with a vivid imagination.
