Building adornments

I'm not exactly sure what exactly to call them, but many buildings in Arles have lovely, sculpted adornments, especially above doors and windows.  Some pieces have been extensively eroded over the years, while others have persisted.  Here are two examples that struck me today.

This building is across the street from the Roman theater

This face seemed out of context with everything else

This is one face of the Hotel de Ville (City Hall)

Female sphinxes!
