About the Item

Pair of stone sculptures. “Lying lions”. Lions have been a frequent theme in statuary since Roman times. Because of their relationship with political power, they also appear in heraldry, and have done so since ancient Persia. The recumbent position is also common: remember the drawing by Rembrandt, the Egyptian example in the Vatican Museums, etc. · Size: 158,5x80x105 cm Weight is merely orientative, even in packaging.
