Large Lion Sculpture in Glazed Terracotta, Romanesque Style, Early 20th Century

About the Item

Majestic large lion sculpture in white glazed earthenware, crafted in the early 20th century and reflecting an exquisite Romanesque style. This piece captures the essence of Romanesque art with its robust forms and meticulously sculpted details, highlighting the texture of the mane and the lion's solemn features. It is in good condition, retaining the white glaze with a beautiful crackle and some minor losses as shown in the images. On the front legs, at mid-height, there appears to be evidence of a past restoration that is nearly imperceptible. Undoubtedly, an ideal piece to add historical and elegant presence to any collection or decorative space.
