The Pope's Gateway

The Gateway
Tap
Popes Keys


You can imagine a gate hanging from these entrance posts forming a gateway to the other side. They also form the shape of a crucifix as appears in the Popes Coat of Arms. Do the two keys form a gateway to another world. God's Kingdom perhaps. They also give the appearance of a tap you might have found on the street corner many years ago often placed there by philanthropists who wanted to help their local community. The pillars work best for me when made from sandstone with metal key protrusions, we still see them in operation today as they were strong and long lasting. The Earth element is supportive of Metal and therefore no corrosion would take place and it would be long lasting. Wooden Gateways work well too but the Metal key would destroy the Wood element over time. A Metal or Wooden post with a tap would be supportive of the Water element so it would work well as a water feature made from either. x
