Mythical yales. I do not know the location. However, a row of wrought iron yales are seen in the indoor gate on the third floor of the Old Art Gallery. xYale 1928. YUAG. Old Art Gallery. Gates and Transom from the Third Floor of the Old Art Gallery 1928 Samuel Yellin, American, born Russia, 1884–1940. Wrought Iron .jpg ...Therefore I would guess this piece is another outdoor gate by Yellin at the Old Art Gallery.
Note the web article below that shows in a photo four "dragons" identical to yours, in a Yellin gate inside a private home in a Philly suburb.-> "The collectors purchased a pair of 1920s wrought-iron gates by Samuel Yellin w dragon’s head finials (see Fig. 7)." www.themagazineantiques.com.
