Description

I don't know the meaning of the baby with a shield riding a fish, but the relief sculpture over a window in the old town of Heidelberg certainly caught my attention.

Per Wikipedia: Heidelberg is a city situated on the river Neckar in south-west Germany. The fifth-largest town in the State of Baden-Wurttemberg after Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Mannheim and Freiburg im Breisgau, Heidelberg is part of the densely populated Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region. In 2015, over 156,000 people lived in the city.

A former residence of the Electorate of the Palatinate, Heidelberg is the location of Heidelberg University, contemporary Germany's oldest and among its most reputable universities. Heidelberg is a popular tourist destination due to its romantic and picturesque cityscape, including Heidelberg Castle and the baroque style Old Town.
