About the Item

An exquisite and dynamic 19th-century gilt bronze sculpture depicting a snake entwined around a lizard in mid-combat. This finely cast and detailed piece captures the tension and realism of nature in motion, with remarkable texture on both the serpent’s scales and the lizard’s skin. The sinuous movement of the snake wrapping around the lizard creates a visually striking composition from all angles. Gilded for added richness, the sculpture blends naturalism with classical decorative art, likely intended as a cabinet curiosity or collector's objet d'art.
