Charlieu - Saint-Philibert

23 Jul 2011 211
This mermaid can be seen in the left side chapel of the parish church Saint-Philibert in Charlieu. The chapel was added to the church end of 15th century. This (compared to her two collegues in the nearby abbey) small and skinny mermaid only has one tail - and holds a mirror and a comb. This are symbols of "vanitias".
