Door Knocker, Siguenza, Spain
One of the stories is that the hand -symbolizing the Hand of Fatima- was not only a talisman to protect a house from evil but also a sign for other Muslims in non-Muslim countries that in a certain house lived people of their faith.
I like that. Nice one for the challenge. Short and sweet, but effective.
