Saujon - Saint-Jean-Baptiste

The parish church in Saujon is a sober structure, erected 1679. Since 1912 the nave hosts four Romanesque capitals that once were part of a (lost) church dedicated to Saint Martin.

One of the masterly carved capitals, has this "psychostasia", the Weighing of souls. Often devil is cheating by holding down the left side of the scale. Here the long-haired devil, who is dotted with pimples, is pushed back be an angel.

When I took this photo, the devil looked at me and whispered "Come closer, come closer". He even blinked.

I was so shocked and frightened, that I spoiled the photo!
