For your consideration, you are viewing an elaborately decorated Vintage Indian Embossed Cast Brass Lion Head Door Pull. This has a majestic lion head with a ring pull in its mouth, and it is New Old Stock, Vintage 90s, I have had these since the 1990s and it has been sitting in a storeroom in bulk packaging since importation. It is a quality reproduction brass sculpture from an original English design and is a genuine piece of metal art that was hand forged in India using the lost wax method and hot cast in a foundry... it is not a polyester, epoxy, resin or cold cast painted composite which are fragile and break down. It is not a thin small metal replica made in China... This is thick and sturdy and made from hardy Brass, it has 3 holes in it to attach it to a door. One at the top that screws in from behind which doesn't go all the way through and two at the base of the head, that screw in from the front. It is suitable for both indoors and outside. Brass will not rust away quickly like iron, a sculpture that will last for generations to come and one day will be the antiques of the future.
This would make a gift and or a must-have for all the big cat lovers and collectors. The Majestic Lion is a symbol of Power, Courage, Bravery, Strength and Royalty. Throughout the ancient world, the vibrant yellow mane of the Lion made it a natural solar symbol. Its body has been used in many mythological creatures, such as the Griffin and the Sphinx in Egypt. The Egyptians believed that the Lion represented wealth. Known as the animal lord of the land, the Eagle is the supreme animal in the air. The might of the Lion, just like the Eagle is one of the symbols used by Kings and emperors on their coat of arms to symbolize supreme strength.

Indian Brass History: India has an ancient history of crafting exquisite brass art. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, Swansea in the UK had the largest and most important copper smelter. The smelted copper was exported to all parts of the world. Exports to India were transported via the British East India Company (EIC). Copper and brass were used for architectural fittings and machines around the world and largely started India's nascent industrialization. India remained the longest-standing foreign market for British copper well into the twentieth century when India eventually found its own supply of copper and knowledge to build a copper smelter.
