In the eaves outside the south aisle of the church of San Miguel de Segovia Fuentidueña, is perhaps the most photographed and corbels antonomásico erotic English Romanesque.

a tangle of characters and faces monstrous, these fans seem to transcend the message man-evil duality where attitudes emphasize their moral weakness, to focus on a particular meaning further catechetical on holiday fertility rite.

Covered by iconoclastic frame the context in which it is situated, neighboring stands a head corbels bare-chested men and noble appearance of maturity, which is adorned with a cap of deer antlers. At the other extreme, another bust, dressed in a woman, look so serene and condescending.
