Gargoyle Sculptures by M. Peña were created for Windstone Editions. Muscles tensed and armored with scales, each Windstone Editions Gargoyle is cast in the highest-quality synthetic stone then individually hand-painted to highlight the craggy detail of the weathered-stone finish (note: for indoor use only). They will become charming and friendly sentries ready to take up residence wherever you wish - to stand guard and protect your home or office.

In medieval times, gargoyles adorned many churches and buildings, sering functional, as well as spiritual, purposes. Funtionally, their gaping mouths and long tongues served as waterspouts, sending rivulets of rain water 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.
