This is a vintage door knocker in the shape of the Greek god Bacchus. It is made of brass and has an antique original quality to it. The design is in the style of English gothic architecture and is suitable for use as a decorative piece for homes. It is heavy and measures 6” tall by 5 1/2” wide. It has some patina but could be polished or painted to look newer if desired. There are a couple small minor chips on the bottom and one on the side but if polished or painted may not even be able to tell. It looks like there are quite a few chips on it but most of them are just where paint was worn off.
