Assyrian Guardian Lion: Bronze Sculpture Based On An Ancient Model
Bronze sculpture with a brown-green patina
European work from the mid-19th century
Depiction of a Lamassu, or guardian of the royal gates of the ancient Assyrian kingdom
Here, a winged lion with a human head—or rather, aninterpretation of two lions merged into one, as the originals have only a single sculpted face
Very high-quality cast, with finely chiseled details
A number stamped on the back of the headdress
Rare
Questions are welcome
