Description:
- Small lion"s head.
- The piece has a hole in the back, so we think it may be a wall fitting, an ornament for a piece of furniture or similar.
- We place the piece in the second half of the 19th century, although it could be earlier.
- Made from a single piece, the artistic quality of the piece is good, with a detailed execution on the front and maintaining good proportions, while the back is unfinished, probably due to the fact that the function of the piece was to be displayed vertically and as a wall fitting.
- No distinctive markings, marks or contrasts have been found that could provide information on where it was made, the maker"s details, or any other information.
Conservation and damage:
- It retains a beautiful patina of the period.
- There are no visible casting defects.
- The Object shows wear typical of it"s age.

Comments:
- Measurements and weight are approximate.
