Attributed by James Young, this is one of the few achitectural sculptures with an overtly biblical inspiration in the city's Victorian financial district.

Love this sculpture on a gable of the former Central Thread Agency buildings on Bothwell Street in Glasgow. This is one of a series of sculptures by McGilvray and Ferris on the building's facade which date from the 1890s.

Today I visited Glasgow's only known pair of architectural walruses as they're amongst my favourite sculptures in the city.
