Vade Retro Satanas

            Not a glamorous shot but if anyone could date this sculpture, it would be highly appreciated.
Shot near the French Queens and Kings tombs, Basilique de Saint-Denis, inside the crypt.
Colonne sculptée située dans la crypte, près du caveau royal.
On peut facilement passer à côté sans voir la sculpture démoniaque. On note la présence des cornes et surtout de la croix de l'exorciseur. Si l'un d'entre vous a plus d'infos et peut la dater, je suis preneur. Merci d'avance !
