Barnstar
A barnstar (more properly barn star) is a decorative piece in the shape of a five-point star used to adorn the barn as most commonly seen originally in German farming communities. Having no structural purpose, they were used for their general appeal as a shape and were even considered lucky as would be a horseshoe mounted over a doorway.
