Italian sculptor (16th century) - Lion in heraldic pose.

27.5 x 8 x h 23 cm.

The lion is depicted in a heraldic pose, with the right front paw raised and the open muzzle turned toward the viewer. The mane is carved in overlapping, animated locks of good quality. The compact, well-proportioned body reflects a conventional anatomical rendering consistent with northern Italian wood sculpture of the 16th century. The figure rests on a shaped rectangular base.
