Sculptural and heavy (over 7 pounds), it brings a sense of structure and elegance to any interior space.

Likely crafted in India in the late 20th century, this piece was originally designed as a decorative architectural topper—possibly for a stair rail, bedpost, or garden feature. It now stands beautifully on its own as a luxe design object, adding visual weight to a shelf, pedestal, or console table.

The surface has been gently cleaned to reveal the natural bronze beneath what was likely a protective lacquer. Signs of wear on the base and finish are consistent with its age and use and add to its character.
