Elegante batente de porta em forma de mão, feito de latão dourado polido, instalado numa porta de madeira escura em Ciudad Rodrigo, Espanha. Este tipo de aldrava, comum na arquitetura tradicional ibérica desde o século XVIII, representa a "mão de Fátima" ou "hamsa", um símbolo com raízes no Norte de África, adotado nas tradições muçulmana, judaica e cristã na Península Ibérica. Ciudad Rodrigo, uma cidade histórica fortificada na província de Salamanca, conserva muitos desses elementos decorativos que refletem a influência multicultural da região. Além da sua função prática, estes batentes eram também símbolos de estatuto social e proteção espiritual para as casas, em que a mão frequentemente simboliza a figura feminina como guardiã do lar. Modelos semelhantes continuam a ser procurados para portas restauradas e edifícios históricos, evocando práticas e estéticas de outros tempos.
A sleek, hand-shaped door knocker, crafted from polished golden brass, graces a dark wooden door in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain, exuding a sense of elegance and refinement. This intricate door knocker, a staple in traditional Iberian architecture since the 18th century, embodies the 'Hand of Fatima' or 'Hamsa', a symbol with deep roots in North Africa, embraced by Muslim, Jewish, and Christian traditions in the Iberian Peninsula. Ciudad Rodrigo, a historic fortified city nestled in the heart of Salamanca province, boasts a treasure trove of decorative elements that embody the region's rich multicultural tapestry. Beyond their practical purpose, these knockers were also symbols of social status and spiritual protection for homes, where the hand often embodies the female figure as a guardian of the hearth. Similar designs continue to be sought after for restored doors and historic buildings, evoking the charm of bygone eras and the beauty of time-honored craftsmanship.

(just push down on the lever..)
Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Exactly what is it that “everybody” is doing...
And - why should I push down on the lever?
I can’t help wondering if it’s like the phone booth on “Get Smart”, and when you push down on the lever, the steps you’re standing on descend deep underground, into some super-secret facility where spy gadgets are perfected… But if that were the case, the instructions would surely be in code.. Maybe pushing DOWN on the lever is just a way of getting rid of unwanted visitors.. After all, the handle looks a LOT more worn than the lever…
Very tricky, this super-secret agent business… Hmmmm…..
