gargoyle

The Huge Ears gargoyles are limestone sculptures located on the northwest tower of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Designed by Peter Rockwell and carved by Malcolm Harlow, these gargoyles feature exaggerated ear motifs as part of the cathedral's extensive collection of grotesques. Positioned on the second floor level at the northwest corner, they contribute to the Gothic Revival architectural character of the cathedral. The gargoyles are part of a broader artistic tradition combining functional and symbolic elements in ecclesiastical stonework.
