| Windstone Gargoyles | | In medieval times, gargoyles adorned many churches, castles and buildings, serving functional, as well as spiritual, purposes. Functionally, their gaping mouths 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.Muscles tensed and armoured with scales, each gargoyle is cast in the highest-quality synthetic stone then individually hand-painted to highlight the craggy detail of the weathered stone finish.
