A scary doorknob

Oh, well! I know it's not properly centered but the door was half closed and I kept it open and in the sun with my left hand, while trying to take the picture with the right hand. And I felt weird…in any case I could share with you the scary hugliness of this doorknob. Would you like such a thing on the door of your home?

Looks like he is in agony!!

[Suse♡]

Looks a bit scary indeed

[Rob Z]

That is one tortured soul. What building has a horrible door knob like that?

[Peter H]

Well, I can imagine with all that contortion you might have looked in almost as much pain as the doorknob!

[Marloes]

I like the colors and his often rubbed nose. I wonder who lives (or has lived) behind this door! Just must find out; do some research in the field ;-)

@777margo @stimuloog @peadar @susale @robz thank you for your comments. I will inquire. Now I know there is an association of merchants, but certainly the doorknob was there before
