Door knocker. Wrought iron. 16th century. A wrought iron door knocker made of several pieces, the main one being the most prominent. This piece features two bands that begin parallel to each other, then separate to form two opposing volutes joined at this point by a rectangular piece. Several engraved lines further accentuate these elements. The use of volutes in wrought iron was common as early as the Romanesque period, and this element evolved over time. This particular example, due to its shape, belongs to a type of knocker known as a "scissor knocker."
