Beautiful and unique. I love the hand one.

My favorite too…well, except for the rope.

When doors were locked by a bar or latch on the inside, a rope was fastened to the latch but kept inside the door. If guests were welcome, the free end of the rope was passed through the hole in the door. Pulling the rope lifted the latch. Thus the saying “I’ll leave the latch rope out” when inviting guests.

The one with the hand is ingenious. You found some very unique door knockers.

They are on almost every door. Not so much in the U.S. We have boring door bells!

Lots of imagination with some of these. I like the crab ones best. They remind me of the nautical themed ones we saw in Nova Scotia a few years ago.
Nice idea for your post 🙂

Thanks. I thought it unusual to see the crab ones since San Miguel isn’t near the ocean.

I’m reminded of the scene in A Christmas Carol when Scrooge (Alastair Cooke) comes home and the door knocker turns into Marley’s face. I’m partial to the one with the hand.

Oh wow, I had forgotten about that scene. You are right…they can become something else! Did you notice that one hand has a ring on one of the fingers?
