Carved keystone head over the entrance to the old Fairfield Shipyard on Govan Road. Dating from 1890, the sculpture is by McGilvray & Ferris.

Judging by the winged headdress, it represents Thor, the hammer-wielding Norse god of Thunder, which would be quite appropriate given the all the cacophony of noise created by ship-building.
