Gazing Globe, Stainless Steel - Small. Floatable A jewel in every garden with a symbolic meaning. These stainless steel gazing globes were used to ward off witches, diseases and adversity. Witches were not allowed to see their own mirror image; this would deprive them of their magic. Nowadays we use the gazing globe as an eye catcher in the garden, pond or as decoration indoors. The reflection scares the herons and birds of prey away.
