A pair of garden ornaments or architectural finials sculpted in the form of stylized beast or dragon heads. The items are constructed from cast reconstituted stone or weathered concrete with a coarse aggregate finish. The design is in the style of Gothic architectural gargoyles. These examples are typical of mid-to-late 20th-century British garden statuary. Each piece features an orange adhesive label with the characters 503, likely an auction lot number. No factory marks or maker symbols are present.
Condition report:
Both pieces are heavily weathered with a rough, pitted surface texture. There is significant lichen and moss growth across the surfaces, consistent with prolonged outdoor exposure.
