Knockers

Minds out of the gutters. I'm talking about door knockers. On our travels Amy and I have noticed a wide variety of distinctive and unusual door knockers. Sometimes I take pictures. Here are a few.

From Orvieto. The first three are not really knockers. They are a nifty grouping of four different carved figures.

This is also from Orvieto and it is a knocker.

From the gate near the Piazza di Plebiscito in Viterbo.

This is a close-up of the door I featured in shabby chic. The knockers are shaped like hands.

This is one of the doors on the duomo at Viterbo. Look Ma, no knockers! (But it is a pretty cool door.)
