Wooden Lion Of Lucerne – Swiss Souvenir – Late 19th Century

Description: Finely carved wooden sculpture representing the famous Lion of Lucerne (Löwendenkmal), a Swiss memorial dedicated to the Swiss Guards who fell in 1792. The work incorporates the Latin inscription "HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI," meaning "To the loyalty and courage of the Swiss." A handcrafted piece, likely made in Switzerland or the Alpine region, in the tradition of late 19th-century tourist souvenirs. Beautiful antique patina, wear consistent with age, and visible tool marks attesting to its handmade nature.
