Gargoyles On Building - GOR-1210947-cE21

Gargoyle carved or formed grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between.

Looking up at the gargoyles on side of building.

Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastical animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is directed from the wall.
