mascaron

Below it is a bronze mascaron of a head of a lion, through which the water flowed.

Inside the niche are two benches and a mascaron from which water still flows, though the fountain is closed with a gate.

Jules Mascaron (1634-1703) was a popular French preacher.

The lower floor has a large portal in the center featuring a mascaron and tympanum; there are two minor entrances at the sides.

Then mama and papa and kata tambours officiate at as many kinds of dances; the congo, the Vodou, and the mascaron.

It is rumored that Mazarin's niece, Marie Mancini, a mistress of Louis XIV of France, is also portrayed on the facade, in the central female mascaron.

Mascaron, a bare-bones, cash-only osteria with paper napkins, thronged even in low season, served us a raft of vegetable antipasti and well-grilled sole and orata (the gold-spotted bream that was sacred to Aphrodite).

The entrance to the castle is an iron gate, mounted in an arch of lava stone closed by a mascaron that is surmounted by a shell, a common element in the best Catanese Baroque of that period.

A particularly popular motif is the lion, which can be found as the Mascaron (architecture) originally fitted on the insides of the gunport doors, grasping the royal coat of arms on either side, the figurehead, and even clinging to the top of the rudder.

Nicolas Malebranche, Louis Thomassin, Jules Mascaron and Jean Baptiste Massillon were members of the famous branch established in Paris in 1611 by Bérulle (later cardinal), which had a great success and a distinguished history.

The principal consecrator was Bishop Jules Mascaron of Agen, and the principal co-consecrators were Bishop Henri de Barillon of Luçon and Bishop Martin de Ratabon of Ypres.
