This cheerful figure was found in St Mary's church in Utrecht. It was cast by an unknown artist in bronze in the twelfth century. The costume is rather unusual: the figure is wearing a pointed hat and sort of jabot, while the cloak is tied together with an ornately knotted belt. On the left shoulder is a kind of wing: another probably once extended from the other shoulder too. The lower half of the figure is now lost, as are the hands.   rijksmuseum.nl
