About the Item

Fascinating limestone gargouille (or gargoyle) from the region of Avignon, France, dating from the 14th century. A rare and striking hand-carved piece that perfectly embodies the medieval Gothic aesthetic. Originally conceived as a decorative and functional architectural element, the gargouille was meant to channel rainwater away from the walls of buildings, but also to scare away evil spirits. This small, finely crafted specimen measures 19 cm high with base (13.5 cm without base) and has a base measuring 9.5 cm x 10 cm. It retains a beautiful antique patina and signs of time that testify to its centuries-old history, without compromising the integrity of the artifact. An authentic and sought-after object, perfect for collectors, medieval art enthusiasts or to enrich a room with an element with a strong visual and symbolic impact. 📌 Don't let it pass you by: pieces like this are not found every day.
