Français : Les têtes plates ornent les archivoltes des portes des églises romanes. Têtes d'oiseaux ou autres animaux, elles semblent mordre le tore qu'elles tiennent dans leur bec ou leur gueule.
Quand les têtes sont celles d'humains leur langue ou leur barbe recouvre le tore qui longe le bord interne de l'arc.
