Corner Art

On the corners of half-timbered houses there are often decorative wood carvings.

They can be very elaborate like these on the town hall of Hadamar:

Sometimes it’s just a simple decoration:

Sometimes it’s large figures:

Sometimes rather tiny ones:

And sometimes it’s a very candid view:

Which – believe it or not – was not an uncommon motive a few hundreds years ago.
