The Stryge of Notre-Dame: A Stone Chimera
A horned stone figure leans over a parapet with its chin held between its hands. Folded wings and a dark open mouth give the still body a watchful, grotesque expression. The photograph shows the well-known Stryge chimera of Notre-Dame in Paris. Reproduced in Magic: Black and White Charms and Counter Charms, the image brings architectural fantasy into the book’s account of supernatural imagery.
