This is one of the few examples of architectural sculptures on a pre-1940s Glasgow building by a female sculptor (and in fact I cannot think of any other examples off the top of my head).

This Is My GlasgowAug 17, 2023

The former Metropolitan Vickers building on Waterloo Street in Glasgow. Built in 1925 in the modern classical style, this building is notable for the animal masks along its roof line.

These were created by Phyllis M. Bone. Famous for her animal sculptures, she became the first female Academician of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1940.
