This French finial is a bit worse for the wear. Your guess is as good as mine as to how this pigeon, which once topped the roof of a barn or house in Picardie, received so many pockmarks.
Expression Se faire passer pour un pigeon; se faire pigeonner: to be played for a fool or dupe
Vocabulary un épi de faîtage: a finial un peu mal en point; un peu triste: worse for the wear
