Cracked Knocker

I'm always on the look out for unusual door knockers.  And Italy has lots of them .  I spotted this one in Siena.  But it's the first one I've seen that is actually cracked in half.  Not sure what kind of knocking  it would take to crack a piece of thick brass but here's the proof.
