A fragment of medieval sculpture was noted and illustrated on the 16 February 2014 entry for this church in Jean-Luc Collignon's Débris cachés d'un trésor roman en trois actes [https://jeanluccollignon.blog4ever.com/eglises-ardennaises] [accessed 8 August 2023]: Collignon (ibid.) notes that inside the partly re-built narthex-like area inside there is a niche displaying the carving of a human head, which he found resembling another suche head built into the outer west wall at Chuffilly-Roche [cf. BSI entry].
