This awesome door knocker is on Powis Castle in Wales … where they have a rich history and tradition closely tied to dragons (or ‘wyrms’!). The set of his body very much seems to suggest soaring and flight … but his tentacles seem quite planted on the door, and his tail is twisted around back towards his body. A piece full of contradictions, all the more enjoyable for their genuine story and history.
