Bronze Art Deco Lion Sculpture

An Art Deco era bronze statue of a lion with a great marble base of three tones inlaid in geometric shapes.  The lion is powerfully rendered, its expression and musculature well defined.

Throughout history, the Lion has been known as  the "king of the jungle" but has also served as symbol of protection for a home or public building. The task of scaring off the "demons" and  keeping away intruders  is  the reason you can find sculptures of lions guarding structures from the ancient Ishtar Gates of Babylonia  to the Bank of China, the Congress of Madrid and the New York Public Library.

Perhaps this bronze lion sculpture with it's sleek form and its attentive gaze can be the guardian and mascot of your home or office.
