Gargoyle Planter “Sheila”

Description

Gargoyle Planter “Sheila”

Gargoyles are often ugly and frightening stone carvings, and this one is no exception. Built into medieval buildings and cathedrals to ward off evil spirits gargoyles often had a practical function as a channel for rainwater or support for a beam or buttress. The Sheila gargoyle doubles as a handy planter, possibly an attempt to make her look more beautiful.
