Tollevast (Manche)
This interesting example of a mouth-puller, near Cherbourg, is above a window
and the main doorway in the West gable of the church.
Among the corbels above the nave is this strange carving which defies interpretation.

Also outside is this megaphallic male.
Inside the church are fine specimens of mouth-pullers and beard-pullers,
... and this discreet hermaphrodite
(?) exhibitionist surmounted by beasts
- perhaps a hare and a dog.

There are more exhibitionists on the outside of the nearby church of Martinvast.
