Master of Beasts

Coningsby church north nave springer

 

A motif much rarer in England than in France. A man being bitten by two dogs, says Pevsner (and the woman selling tea in the church!), but it is the same spirit as the ear-whisperers on the Sutton Hoo purse, The Gunderstrup Cauldron and the Sumerian seals.

 

Please see my article if you are interested!
