Brooding Guardian Gargoyle Statue 18" High Rust Color

Perched in deep thought, the Brooding Guardian Gargoyle Statue brings Gothic mystery and watchful character to a garden, entrance, porch, or architectural ledge. Resting his chin upon one hand, this unusual gargoyle appears to study everything around him with a stern expression and quiet concentration. Pointed ears, small horns, powerful limbs, clawed feet, and folded wings give the sculpture its traditional medieval character. His hunched pose and brooding gaze make him look like a patient guardian waiting to spring into action at the first sign of trouble. Gargoyles have decorated European churches and historic buildings for centuries. Although functional gargoyles served as waterspouts, sculptural versions known as grotesques were also placed on architecture as symbolic protectors believed to frighten away evil spirits. This thoughtful guardian continues that tradition with a more whimsical personality. This edition is offered specifically in a warm rust finish, which enhances the sculpted textures and gives the figure the appearance of aged metal or weathered architectural ornament. Made for indoor or outdoor display, the 18-inch gargoyle creates a memorable focal point among flowers, beside a doorway, on a stone wall, or within a Gothic-themed collection.
