The image showcases an exquisite architectural element on the facade of a historic building, executed in Art Nouveau (Art Nouveau) or Neo-Gothic style. The central feature is an elegant metal bracket with decorative finial that serves as a support for a sign or flagpole.
The bracket is crafted from wrought iron with a characteristic blue-tinted patina. Its composition includes a stylized depiction of a dragon or mythical creature at the lower part of the structure, indicating the influence of Neo-Gothic aesthetics. The vertical portion of the bracket is adorned with decorative leaves that flow upward, creating an organic vegetal motif.
The building wall is clad in light-colored stone (presumably sandstone or limestone), which contrasts with the dark metal of the bracket. The facade features rich stucco work with floral motifs enclosed in a rectangular frame above the window opening. At the top of the image, a carved stone bracket with acanthus leaf ornamentation supports a projecting element.
This facade fragment demonstrates the high craftsmanship of late 19th to early 20th century artisans, combining the functionality of an architectural detail with aesthetic expressiveness and symbolism characteristic of the Art Nouveau era and historicism.
