The lion, symbol of strength and royalty, has a powerful physiognomy, with a mane carefully sculpted around the face. The wings , which extend laterally in a symmetrical way, indicate a connection with symbolic iconographies of the Renaissance, where winged lions often represented power and dominion. In the lower part we can see floral decorations in relief and a base adorned with geometric and curvilinear motifs. Time has left signs of wear on the surface, highlighting some erosions, but the sculpture still maintains its solemnity and artistic detail." Width 40 height 38 depth 50 See less
