Dedo Gargoyle

We sell the always popular Dedo gargoyle.

Here is his story card:


The "Legend" of Dedo
"It all began in Paris when the Notre Dame Cathedral was being built, rising majestically stone by stone towards the heavens. It was custom to top each structure with a menacing gargoyle, who protected the cathedral by warding off evil spirits.

Marie Therese, a nun from a tiny convent in Provence, disliked the evil-looking gargoyles on the new cathedral, sitting so close to the heavens.Disguised as a man, she trekked on foot to Paris, entered the work site, and quickly carved a small block into a lovable, protective creature. She placed her creature, with its pointy ears and human-like feet, on the highest roof, visible only to God Himself.

It was undiscovered for centuries until a small boy, lost in the labyrinthine structure, stumbled off a ledge and rolled down a roof into the arms of the littlest gargoyle, perched quietly on a ledge. Since that time, Marie Therese's creature was affectionately known as Little Dedo, the gargoyle with the crossed toes."

We sell several sizes and finishes, prices start at $19.

Meeker


This fine little guy we call 'Meeker.' He (or she) is a well cast gargoyle sculpture — designed and made right in the good ole USA.

Meeker is holding his treasure, protecting it.

Meeker Gargoyle Statue
This gargoyle is cast from gypsum cement and so it suitable for outdoor display. Meeker is about four inches tall, and is priced at $46.


The web site has probably six pieces from this fine artist — visit the web site by clicking here.
