is attributed with the statues of the Virgin Mary (Vierge de la Nativitė) and Joseph (Saint Joseph de la Nativitė) placed on the porch buttresses. Joseph stands with his pilgrim's stick held across his chest. The Virgin Mary is depicted at prayer. At Ploudiry, see Ploudiry Parish close, Bastien Prigent was responsible for the statue of Saint Sebastian in the right side buttress. At Quéménéven, Henry Prigent was the sculptor of the statue of Saint Lawrence who carries a closed book and a gridiron to remind us of the nature of his martyrdom. Crosses and calvaries where parts are attributed to the Prigent atelier Emmanuelle Le Seac'h reckons that there are 17 calvaries in the region that have been re-erected using sculptures from various workshops. Some of these are described below:- Miscellaneous Note on the sculptor Fayet Apart from "Le compagnon de Pleyben", who worked with the Prigent brothers on the monumental calvary at Pleyben, the sculptor known as Fayet also worked in the Prigent atelier and is best known for his work on the Calvary at Lopérec. Fayet worked with the atelier from 1552 to 1563. His style of sculpting was so similar to the Prigent brothers that it is sometimes difficult to tell their work apart. Like the two brothers he often added three tears to the faces of his subjects and their faces were oval in shape as were those of the Prigents. Other works by Fayet include those listed below. Fayet also executed several sculptures of angels with their wings spread ("anges aux ailes dėployėes") which were positioned on either side of the crucified Christ and were collecting his blood into chalices. Examples are at Briec-de-l'Odet for the Saint-Adrien calvary, at Landudal, in the cemetery at Plounéour-Ménez, the Sainte-Barbe chapel at Ploéven, the ėglise at Plozévet and on the Kernaliou cross in Trégourez.
