This doorknocker is a symbolic rendering of the sun. Someone has added an incongruous touch, painting out the eyes of the sun with white paint and adding six tears in the bargain. The old wooden door, with its weeping and blind sun, may tell us something about the souls of those who may dwell within. The whimsical yet profound alternations to the doorknocker may be very small in size, but they are large in meaning. I had to move in very close to the knocker to make those details large enough to see, and then size the picture large enough on this web page to allow them to stress their meaning.
