"Cast Iron Door Knocker Depicting A Two-headed Dog And A Snake"
This remarkable cast iron door knocker depicts a two-headed dog whose two heads join to form a ring held in its mouth, surmounted by two intertwined snakes forming a loop. The animal's finely detailed body features expressive musculature and stylized fur, characteristic of 19th-century cast iron production. The wall bracket, decorated with geometric patterns, is patinated by time, adding to the overall charm. This unique object illustrates a mythological or fantastical imagery, where hybrid or symbolic creatures played a decorative and protective role on entrance doors. Ideal for adorning an old door or for a collection of architectural objects.
