Summary

Description
English: One of the two protectors of Victoria Square.

This one is near New St and Colmore Row.

It is in front of Christchurch Passage (I recently got shots from behind those bars of the Frankfurt Christmas Market).

The two sphinx-like Guardians (Mistry suggests a 1st Century Indian source). To each side at the top, an Object/Variation, a tapering pillar suggesting lighthouses or pyramids.
