This shield-bearing gargoyle brings gothic character and a watchful presence to your garden.

Hand-cast from quality stone and finished in a warm sandstone tone, the Gargoyle with Shield stands 38cm tall. Every detail is shaped by hand. The expressive face, sturdy shield and muscular stance draw from centuries of gothic tradition.

Gargoyles were originally placed on buildings to ward off evil spirits. This ornament carries that same protective symbolism into your outdoor space. Position him on a gatepost, wall top or beside a garden path for maximum impact.

The cast stone construction is guaranteed frost-proof. It will not crack or flake through harsh winters. Over time, the sandstone finish develops a natural patina that adds even more character. At 27kg, this is a solid piece that stays put in strong winds.

Part of the Melmar Mystical range, this gargoyle pairs well with other gothic ornaments and stone statues. He works equally well as a standalone focal point or grouped with other guardians for a dramatic display.
