Just a wonderful antique lion’s head in heavy cast iron on a later stand. The lion most probably used to be a door ornament or door knocker - hence the two holes on either side of the lion’s mouth. Beautiful naive and detailed artifact with a very nice and decorative appearance. Great polychrome colors and fading, a perfect patina.
Wonderful on a sideboard or on display in a collection of curiosities.
The stand and mounting is very well done, completely in line with the patina and soul of the object itself.
Dimensions: W. 16.5 x D. 17 x H. 29 cm
