Description:
Polychrome stone statue from c 1470 attributed to Antoine Le Moiturier. Bernard has an open book in his left hand with text in black letters showing: 'Omnia tecum habes, ante te Deum qui habes' ('You have everything, you who has God before you'). The original crozier is missing but has been replaced by one in wood, but the original sudarium is there. Bernard has a 'tuft'.
