Gargoyle

Description

Perched high up the walls of European cathedrals and castles, Gargoyles, with their often misshapen faces, were sculpted to awaken terror in onlookers, but they had a much simpler duty as well: acting as water spouts.

• Characteristics: Featuring a grotesque face that combines the human with the mythical, Gargoyles like this one are featured prominently in medieval castles and cathedrals as rainspouts and gutters.
• Size and Color: Weathered stone gray, this Gargoyle would look perfectly at home perched atop a centuries-old cathedral. Standing 3 ½ inches tall, it can find a place in your home as well.
