cheval-de-frise (shuh-VAL duh FREEZ) noun
   plural chevaux-de-frise (shuh-VOH duh FREEZ)

   1. An obstacle, typically made of wood, covered with barbed wire
      or spikes, used to block the advancing enemy.

   2. A line of nails, spikes, or broken glass set on top of a wall
      or railing to deter intruders.
       
[From French, literally horse of Friesland, so named because it was
first
used by Frisians who lacked cavalry.]

  "Fold back the leaves of an artichoke and you discover ... more
artichoke
   leaves, at least until you come to the succulent, secret heart hidden
   beneath a chevaux-de-frise of thistle-like bristle."
   David Nelson; Gastronomic Adventure Unfolds Like an Artichoke; 
   The Los Angeles Times; Jun 21, 1991.

  "On the land side, outside the battlements, are acres of
chevaux-de-frise:
   sharp rock slabs set vertically into the ground, making it virtually
   impossible for a person to pass, let alone a horse."
   Denise Fainberg; On Foot In Inishmore; The New York Times; Aug 1,
1999.

Artists sit on art horses -- wooden benches with supports for their
canvases.  Carpenters use saw horses, so called because they clearly
look like stylized representations of the animal. Not so obvious are
horses -- or their cousins -- hiding in many everyday objects. Literally
speaking, an easel is an ass (from Dutch ezel), while a bidet is a pony
(from French bidet).
