Queen's Park Carving
I love to discover carvings on the older buildings in the city and Queen's Park which is the location of our provincial government is a treasure trove of wonderful examples. The pink sandstone is so lovely when carved as in this example. This is probably a lost art now!

What a lovely detail! ;-)
Just think, you can't really rub out a mistake and start again!
I wonder... any significance to the interwoven design?
These days they make a plastic mold and glue it on. Nobody, sadly, really values artisans anymore.
It is like following a maze keeping track of the lines.. I think it is a lost art, so we should save all that we find.
That's beautiful.
Beautiful. I love finding things this too! Great find.
So intricate!
I think you may be right Pat, that's why it's so very special when you find one. The pink sandstone is visually very appealing.
I wonder how old this is as it appears to be in excellent condition.
How gorgeous. Not a lost art, sadly it is just that no one is willing to pay for it anymore Easier to get something mass produced from China.
It is a fine detail, RedPat.
This is a really nice sign in toronto! I'm liking the detail and the originality!
