Il Museo Lapidario del duomo di Modena conserva tra le altre opere le cosiddette metope, cioé quelle sculture attribuite al cosiddetto Maestro delle Metope (prima metà del XII secolo) utilizzate per decorare le terminazioni dei quattro contrafforti della navata. Queste opere si devono annoverare tra i capolavori del duomo per la finezza dell'esecuzione e per l'abilità con cui l'artista ha collocato i corpi dei soggetti all'interno dello spazio disponibile. L'uomo dai capelli lunghi è una delle metope originali conservate nel Lapidario del Museo del Duomo. Sulla cattedrale sono presenti le copie delle opere medievali per preservare dagli agenti atmosferici le originali.

What or who inspired the metope master? The bicaudata siren that shows the vagina, in a pudic age like the medieval one, derives from pagan fertility symbols, transformed into mythological beings so as to be exposed outside the walls of many early medieval churches. The shoes of the man with long hair and the big girl where do they come from?
Hello and thank you if you want to answer, Fabrizio.

You should ask the Master of Metopes or Lanfranco. Certainly, according to some scholars, there was a parenetic intent in denouncing the typical vices of the pagans. Hence the use of clothing, footwear and hairstyles that may indicate a geographical, mythological origin or historical contextualization.
If you allow me a correction, it is not the bicaudata siren that shows the genitals, but the hermaphrodite (or potta of Modena) that brazenly shows its intimate parts.
I hope I have answered satisfactorily.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Mimmo

As the two-sided siren shows in many metopes the vagina, known only now that here has the underpants (and it is strange); however I did not confuse her with the hermaphrodite.
Well pleased to know who is familiar with the late Middle Ages fascinating period as the late ancient because less known.
I wish you good life and happy holidays
Fabrizio
