Travel back in time with this limestone low-relief, which immortalizes the lively bustle of a 19th-century Auvergne market. The scene highlights a key moment of rural life: in the foreground, two merchants seal an exchange, trading pigs for oxen. To finalize their agreement, they strike each other’s hand — a traditional gesture of negotiations in days gone by.

In the background, the Puy de Dôme, an emblematic symbol of Auvergne, dominates the landscape, anchoring the scene in its authentic regional setting. Every detail, from the costumes to the postures, is finely rendered through encrustation on mould, faithfully recreating the vibrant and picturesque atmosphere of historic marketplaces.

A true tribute to regional heritage, this low-relief captures the spirit and traditions of Auvergne with remarkable artistic precision.
