One of the lamp posts outside Glasgow Cathedral. These feature four symbols, a bird, a bell, a tree and a fish with a ring in its mouth.

These symbols are linked to miracles attributed to Saint Mungo, the cathedral's founder and the city's Patron Saint. These are set within hook which seems to be modelled on a Bishop's Crozier, presumably a reference to Saint Mungo being the first Bishop of Glasgow.
