Expressive, vintage cast brass door knocker featuring a dramatic Medusa or Gorgoneion-style face surrounded by flowing serpentine hair and classical ornamental detailing. The substantial shield-shaped backplate is paired with a hinged wreath-form knocker, giving the piece a bold architectural presence inspired by ancient Greek and Roman decorative motifs. Made in Japan during the mid to late 20th century, this heavy cast brass piece offers two mounting options. It may be installed using screws through the front mounting holes or secured with bolts from the back using the threaded fittings, allowing flexibility for different door types. A striking choice for an entry door, gate, or as sculptural architectural décor.
Will be carefully packaged with plenty of materials to help ensure its safe arrival at its new home. Please message me if you have any questions.
