Description

Each sculpture is crafted from white marble, and depicts a male lion in a Classical style pose: standing on four legs and baring its teeth. The figures are both set on rectangular white marble plinths. In the 18th and 19th Centuries pairs of sculptures of lions were very popular in European homes. They would often be placed on either side of a doorway to give the appearance of standing guard.
