Rare Lauze Stone Cross On Stand
A magnificent and extremely rare cross carved from Lauze stone, affixed to a traditional stone roof in the town of Lozère, France. Dating from the early 18th century, these crosses adorned the roofs of old houses, built of schist, as a symbol of local religious fervor and as spiritual protection for the home. This finely crafted cross, surrounded by a frieze of spikes, possesses remarkable depth and sculptural complexity, testifying to the artisanal skill of this region of France.
