The ornate sign arches away from the wall in the shape of what appears to be an eagle. A lion stands on its hind legs on the bracket attached to the wall with its left front paw resting on the eagle's back. The lion holds a scroll in its right front paw. The eagle holds a wreath in its bill and in the center of the wreath is a small version of McDonald's golden arches. Green ivy rises up the eagle's neck.
Some interesting information we uncovered when posting this sign:
"The main, albeit narrow shopping street in old Salzburg is The Getreidegasse. Squeeze your way through the crowds, whilst enjoying shopping for all those Mozart souvenirs and chocolates. Take time to admire the ornate wrought iron signs and carved window fames of the houses here - many of which are several storeys high. Notice the crowds around house number 9 here - Mozart's house of course!
Of course there is also a McDonalds beef burger joint - their normal "golden arches" caused an uproar with the local residents who boycotted the place for 3 weeks. People power won the day and they had to replace with a wrought iron version as befitting with the rest of the street. This is only one of 4 locations where they have a different logo sign - the others being in Vienna, Sedona in USA and on the Champs Elysee in Paris."
