A. Rauch." The sculpture can be dated between 1940 and 1960. This sculpture is particularly valuable and rare because it is the largest lion ever created by Ernst Andreas Rauch. There are many others, mostly small and some medium-sized, but this large one is very rare. The quality of Nymphenburg porcelain is beyond question, a very hard porcelain, as white as only the greatest manufacturers can produce. This piece has an attribution mark,
