gargoyle

The Rhinoceros-like gargoyles at Washington National Cathedral are limestone sculptures carved by Constantine Seferlis and designed by Eleanor Lander Horowitz. Located on the cathedral's north nave triforium level, these gargoyles blend Gothic architectural tradition with imaginative animal forms. They serve both decorative and functional roles as part of the cathedral's extensive collection of grotesques. The cathedral is a major Washington, D.C. landmark near Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues NW.
