We spend some time in Mexico and I did a survey of decorative ironwork
on Isla Mujeres, the "Women's Island" which is a few miles off shore
from Cancun, Mexico. This page shows how widely the work varies, in

A number of those gates looked like they were designed for security and ventilation. The
art part of it conceals one of the practical purposes.
