nusual vintage/antique metal figure depicting a seated lion, shown in relief with good surviving detail to the mane, face and body.

The exact original purpose and age are unconfirmed, so I am listing this conservatively as an unidentified decorative metal mount / plaque rather than attributing it to a specific period.

Details:

• Lion design
• Weight: 22.01g
• Approx. 4–4.5cm tall from the ruler shown
• Metal composition untested
• Flat/rough reverse
• Appears to have been mounted or attached to another object originally
• Strong age-related patina and surface oxidation
• Some losses, wear and edge damage consistent with age

An interesting piece for collectors of historical metalwork, archaeological-style finds, decorative mounts and curios.

Please study all photographs carefully for condition, size and construction. Sold exactly as shown.
