Chase Away those Evil Spirits With A Gargoyle Statue!
At one time gargoyles were often regarded with mystery and superstition but today most people use them purely for decorative purposes. You'll find them both inside and outside the home. They can certainly add an air of mystique and are a great talking point.
Since I've always been a fan of medieval things, I guess it's no surprise that I like gargoyle statues. I've selected just a few of the ones I like, to share with you. Give them as gifts or collect them yourself to add an unusual accent to your home.
Myth has it that gargoyles come to life at night and roam or fly around keeping guard over the village or town. They return to their statue form before sunrise.

- Scary or not, gargoyles are as beautiful objects of art as any other. It must be a great feeling to have a collection of such objects. A lens with a difference.

- I find gargoyles appealing to and am not sure why. They certainly have been important in history in that they are so prominent on many historic buildings.

- Having worked in the undertaking industry as a hearse driver for more than five years I got to see some amazing figures and figureheads on some of the churches I visited, Gargoyles are more prominent than most of us realise, it is just a question of looking up at the eaves as we pass churches and similar buildings. Another favorite are skeleton heads and figures, these are also meant to ward off evil and can even be seen on some headstones in cemetaries... Really enjoyed the lens as it sort of compliments a lens of my own called "Armor Rings." Would not hesitate in buying another Gargoyle.
Warm Regards,
Clive

- I think they are cool if they are not too scary. Some are scarier than others.
