Calle dei Furlani Palace
Palace in Calle dei Furlani, Venice (San Giorgio degli Schiavoni)
A characteristic 16th-century Venetian house with windows placed symmetrically on either side of the three-light window on the first floor. The original interior layout has been preserved. There are two staircases: one for the first floor and another for the two upper floors, which form a single apartment.
Claws
These claws are the second pair of swimming appendages of Cyclops strenuus.
