France, France, The Apocalypse (Cap. XIII), large uniface cast Æ plaque, by Pierre Roche, (undated), 150 x 194mm, waves from which a Hydra rears up, its seven heads each captioned the god of ‘Haine, Gurre, Fraude, Orgueil, Lucre, Viol, Envie’. Very rare, extremely fine, with an attractive light-brown patina, by any measure a very dramatic composition (£200-250)
