These YNF alabasters replicas of the Autun Cathedral Adam and Eve lintels were probably done while the Autun lintels were intact before or after the 15th century fire or before the 18th century “redecorating” and plastering or even the possible French Revolution smashing, which means somewhere between the 15th and 18th centuries, or even back further to the 12th century. The YNF alabaster may be the only surviving replica of this Gislebe rtus Adam masterpiece, which makes it significant.
