gargoyle

The Grandsons (10-11) are limestone gargoyles at the Washington National Cathedral, designed by Carl L Bush and carved by Constantine Seferlis and Vincent Palumbo. They depict contrasting figures: an Angelic Grandson with an intact halo and a Mischievous Grandson with a broken halo and hand in a cookie jar. These sculptures contribute to the cathedral's Gothic aesthetic and storytelling through stone ornamentation. They are located near Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues NW in Washington, D.C.
