gargoyle

The Feline Eagle (16) gargoyle is a limestone sculpture at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., designed by Carl L Bush and carved by an unknown stonecarver. It is located on the N Nave Bay 6 Triforium Level west side and is part of the cathedral's extensive collection of gargoyles and grotesques. The piece exemplifies the imaginative Gothic architectural ornamentation found throughout the cathedral. The National Cathedral is situated near Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues NW, accessible via the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station.
