detail of a stone carving on the exterior of a building. The carving depicts a winged, childlike figure holding a shield. The shield bears the Caduceus symbol, which is composed of a staff with two snakes intertwined and wings at the top. Below the shield is a grotesque face, possibly a gargoyle or demon. The carving appears weathered and shows signs of chipping and peeling paint. The background consists of architectural details of the building, including ribbed arches and decorative elements. This architectural detail is located on the facade of the former Poliklinik (outpatient clinic) at Flemmingstraße 2, in Chemnitz, Germany.
