One lion is recumbent in slumber, the other is alert and waiting. They both rest majestically on a plinth. These bookends are after the original large- scale work that was sculpted by Antonio Canova (Italian, 1757-1822) for the tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St. Peter's Basilica. They are signed Antonio Canova to signify the original work. (Books are not included in this offering) See less
