The buttocks corbel of the Bourges Cathedral[1] is an explicit corbel located in the Bourges Cathedral. It is depicted in Histoire de la caricature au moyen âge et sous la renaissance[2] (1870) and in L'Art profane à l'église[3] (1908). It depicts a naked pair of buttocks.
L'Art profane à l'église describes it as:
- "Sous une galerie qui conduit à la crypte existe un ornement des plus étranges : un cul-de-lampe (fig. 231) exhibe la région sacrée d'une Vénus callipyge ou d'un homosexuel fessu d'outre-Rhin."
