| Description: |
|---|
| Stone statue from the end of the fifteenth or the beginning of the sixteenth century, formerly polychromed. Bernard had had a hand in the foundation of the Benedictine nuns' abbey of Pralon in 1142 which explains the presence of the statue there. Bernard holds an open book in his right hand and the remains of a crozier in his left. Bernard has a 'tuft'. |
