A pair of French 19th century carved stone mascaron keystones in Neo-Renaissance style, possibly from the Arras region of Northern France, each in the form of a mythological bearded man with a foliate head-dress.

Mascarons were developed in antiquity as guardians to ward off evil spirts from entranceways.
