An interesting artwork with houses on the hill, atop of which is the double-headed eagle mounted on a split pin. Now I search for the hidden meaning ......
Thanks, Amelia. I didn’t know it was a split pin, but I’ve done the search.
Split pins are frequently used to secure other fasteners, e.g. clevis pins, or to secure a castellated nut, or, infrequently, as a low-tech shear pin.
There must be a poem to be made of all this split pin lore, but I’m sure it’s the first ever used to raise the gold double-headed eagle, a symbol of the Greek Orthodox Church over the monastery on Tilos.
