In medieval times, gargoyles adorned many churches and buildings, serving functional, as well as spiritual, purposes. Functionally, their gaping mouthes and long tongues served as waterspouts, sending rivulets of rainwater streaming off the high roofs to splatter on the ground below. The spiritual role played by these fierce and wide-eyed -- but truly good-hearted -- creatures was that of sentinels, perched high to ward off evil spirits and guard against misfortune.
Now, sculptor M. Pena has taken this historic background, added a pinch of fantasy from her childhood, and applied her own modern artistic twist. The result: Windstone Editions' outstanding line of Old World Gargoyles.
Muscles tensed and armored with scales, The Roaring Sentinel Gargoyle perfectly captures the unequaled power and beauty - the guardian spirit - of Old World gargoyles. Made from the finest materials available, each piece is precisely cast in the finest quality gypsum stone, and hand-painted by skilled craftspersons. The Roaring Sentinel Gargoyle stands 10 1/2-inches tall.
