Stone Look Resin Cast Winged/ Horned Mini GARGOYLE Guardian Statue

Although he has called my desk area home for many years, Fred the Gargoyle boasts lineage as one of the original medieval creatures that pensively perched from a European rooftop and turret. This historic, muscular fellow is cast in resin with an aged and weathered look greystone finish to lend authenticity to his story.

• Cast in resin
• Grey stone look finish
• Dimensions: 2 3/4" T x 2" W x 2 1/4" D


Gargoyle - the dictionary definition: a spout usually in the form of a grotesquely carved face or figure, projecting from a roof gutter. From the Old French "gargouille" and the Late Latin "gurgulio", both meaning throat. (from Chambers Concise dictionary)

"Gargoyles (in the strict sense) are carvings on the outside of buildings designed to direct water from the roof away from the base of the walls... ...Some gargoyles are undecorated but many are zoomorphic or anthropomorphic - often very imaginative and/or grotesque. This has led to the term 'gargoyle' being applied more widely to any grotesque carving in medieval buildings." (from Bob Trubshaw, posting in BritArch archives, 23Feb1999)

Over the last few years, gargoyles have become cartoon characters, a cult "animal" in Neo-Gothic circles, particularly popular in internet fantasy literature where they appear more naughty than truly evil, and even as a way of defining ones Gothic self ("I'm a gargoyle". "Oh really, I'm a vampire, but we could still go out together"). None of these have much to do with plumbing, but the meaning of words do change over the years, and "gargoyle" now seems to mean to many people to be any ugly or grotesque creature particularly if it lives on buildings or rocks.

LOL! Cool! I can't believe I forgot to mention in the listing that he is PERFECT condition. LOL! I'm actually arguing with someone about a refund I want because it was not mentioned that the item I won was broken and repaired in the auction description. In fact no mention at all. I just got a big surprise when i too it out of the plastic bag. I can't believe now I have to pay to ship it back. I never would have bid 150k on an item like it that had been previously broken. I guess he thought I wouldn't notice? LMFAO!

Hmmm... I guess everyone has just given up on the concept of reading auction details/ descriptions... This has to be number four or five, today alone. =\
It says, "• Dimensions: 2 3/4" T x 2" W x 2 1/4" D"

I am terribly sorry, I was not able to open the rest of the description. Thank you for responding, as he is small, I will be trying to get him for my desk at work.
