Carved stone capital with snakes entering open mouths of human faces, representing the torments of hell or the corruptions of the body, in the Cloister, 1250-71, in the Abbaye de Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines, Pyrenees-Orientales, France. The Cloister is in late Romanesque style, with capitals in pink, white and black marble, carved with local flora and fauna, allegorical subjects and liturgical scenes. The Benedictine monastery was founded 778-80 by abbot Sentimirus, rebuilt in the 10th century and sacked in the French Revolution. The abbey is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
