The hamlet of Duris, a former pottery village near Magnac-Bourg, is the birthplace of finials. They owe their existence to the presence of a vein of clay, still mined by tile-makers. The finials resemble ornate jugs placed at the junction of the four roof slopes to protect the structure from the elements. An outward sign of wealth, finials also ward off evil spirits and spells.
