Pomegranate à main
No duty or import fees
Lyon's full of unnecessarily beautiful doors, think gilding the lily and the adding sprinkles. With cool doors, come cool door knockers and this 'hand of Fatima' is a popular choice.
Why a grenade? Why not? Coincidently, the door knockers usually hold a piece of fruit, 'grenade' is French for pomegranate because early grenades were roughly the same shape. Full circle visual play on worsdery!
It seems to be a fitting reminder of the tickle of danger that irritates that old bit of our brains, even something as benign as a door knocker can shake us with its explosive presence.
This print is from an original work completed in acrylic and pencil on a painted book page. This wall art is available to purchase framed or unframed.
