Антикварне теракотове навершя даху «Дракон»

A dragon figurine that served as a ridge for a tiled roof in the Victorian era. The image of a gargoyle, griffin or other monster was often used at the very top of a building as a decor and not only... People believed that such a "talisman" scared evil spirits. The terracotta figurine is made in a rather grotesque way, the whole body of the phymera is covered with scales, its paws have huge claws and thorns. The tail bears the author's signature "Jameson".
