This lion head on the door says knock-knock, and I hope that you will agree with me. It’s a whimsical Thursday Doors, after all.
A while back we discussed the history of door knockers and why we knock on doors (!) and we even knocked on the door of Bran Castle: (to listen to a Crocus Legend).
Here are, side by side, door knockers from Bran castle and from the University of Pretoria:
Here it is again, the lion head door knocker front and profile (on the open door!) roarinf knock-knock from a massive wooden gate with a curved Transon window above, adorned with iron cast details:
For Dan Antion’s Thursday Doors, a weekly challenge where door lovers come together to share pictures of doors from around the world.
Excellent photos, Patricia. I’m not sure I’d want to use the knocker on Bran Castle’s front door. I’ll try the side entrance.
Excellent, Dan! Especially these days, who knows who will open the door?
love it Pat!! Great doors … knocking at your door and congrats on author of the month at Spillwords my friend! ❤️
Welcome, dear Cindy. And thank you so much 🙂
That is a gorgeous door! Lion, too.
Ah, I’m glad you liked it 🙂
Cute lion, impressive door.
Most definitely:)
