Description
This elaborate decoration above a door in mala Strana is worth a zoom. There is an inscription but I can't read it..perhaps someone can decipher it. There's a faded painting and perhaps there's some symbolism in the wolf ? carrying a token of peace.
On my last stay in Prague I looked for details to capture..and there are so many possibilities!!
Thanks for taking a look.

Just wonderful, Jean! Thankyou for showing us.
a wonderful discovery
marvelous detail
Good POV in this one. I would say that a considerable amount of effort went into this olde sculptured creation.
What a great find! Excellent capture!
A lovely clear capture of this beautiful docorative piece.
What a wonder! I miss Prague. I really must return! As for what the overt symbolism here is...I have no idea, though from the looks of it, I'd only venture to guess that it's an address, but I can't tell if the blue wolf is the address or the angelic person...or maybe both. I do however marvel at the idea that the old Czechs used their own version of the "@" symbol for internet addresses: apparently we're looking at something known as "At the Blue Wolf with a thing in his mouth" or something like that. It's incredibly gorgeous.
A super plaque Jean. Sorry but I can't help with any info.
Awesome capture.
aT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE IMAGE I SPOTTED THE DATE..1564 OR 1662!
an awesome capture, have not a clue but it does look like the second in the inscription is missing the center part!:)*5
