This impressive mask is a plastic cast of a sculpture on the ceiling of the classical Gaston d’Orléans wing of Blois castle, built in 1635-1638. It’s part of an itinerary for the blind. Can you spot it on the ceiling below?

That was a teaser. Is he appearing twice, upside down [because of angle] below the shields?
I’m in agreement with Helen, though it took me a bit to find him.
I’ve a crick in my neck and I’m seeing double!
@Helen – Yes, you’re right!
@William – Yes, it took me a bit of time too.
@Lesley – I LOVE your description.
