Is that a gargoyle atop the Elysian?

Elysian, Chicago

I was at the outer limits of my zoom range (280mm) on this shot. That appears to be a gargoyle sitting on the Elysian, but I can’t be certain. Click the image to view a larger version and tell us what you see.

I think that is a temporary piece of rigging, not an architectural element.

Definitely not a gargoyle. You’ll see if you zoom in

tup,

Wishful thinking on my part. This building definitely needs gargoyles to complete its look.

An abstract gargoyle, perhaps?

The building definitely needs a lot of things.

Ornamentation would be a good start. The only ornaments so far are a pair of chalices at the entryway of the auto court, if I”m correct
