Salvaged from a building at the north west corner of Vandeventer Avenue and McPherson Avenue, this is a large piece of terra cotta with a flame and cornucopia.
The glaze is most unusual.
Three pieces which must be mounted to a wall for stability.
In architecture, the flame often represents eternal life/soul, knowledge and enlightenment, transformation and renewal, inspiration and passion, guidance and strength or purification. While the cornucopia represents abundance, prosperity, good fortune, and gratitude. Maybe this building was a funeral home, or a mortuary?
Demolished: 1987, for another parking lot
