About the Item

Provenance of these items is unknown - they were purchased at auction with no history provided. This image features a pair of intricately detailed, antique-style metal lion masks mounted on black rectangular bases. The masks are made of bronze with a richly aged patina and traces of verdigris, highlighting their details and character. Each mask depicts a stylized lion face with pronounced features, including bulging eyes, an exaggerated snout, bared teeth, and ornate carvings across the surface. The perimeter is adorned with spiked and swirling motifs, resembling a mane or crown. These elements suggest cultural significance—possibly inspired by traditional South or Southeast Asian religious or ceremonial iconography, such as the guardian lions (often called singha or simha in Hindu and Buddhist traditions). Displayed as a pair, the masks are presented on simple, elegant stands, making them ideal as statement decor pieces or collectible art objects.
