The decorative and ornate finial on the top of 144 Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow, from which it gets its nickname, The Hatrack.

144 St Vincent Street in Glasgow. Designed by James Salmon Jnr, this Art Nouveau masterpiece was built around 1900. Like all well-loved things in Glasgow it has a nickname, 'The Hatrack', after the ornate, multi-pointed finial which tops it.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this carving by Francis Derwent Wood on 'The Hatrack' on St Vincent Street in Glasgow. It's officially described as a goat-head, but it seems more anthropomorphic than that to me.
