Jamb statue of King Solomon or the Frankish king, Clovis I (466–511), the founder of the Merovingian dynasty, from the former Cathedral of Our Lady of Corbeil-Essonnes. Commissioned by the museum in 1909, the cast was made by August Gerber in Cologne. It was exhibited in the Romanesque Hall in 1910. Probably lost during World War II, current whereabouts of the artwork are unknown.
