An antique gilt bronze (dore) desk ornament of a lizard sitting on a column form base. The base has a anthemion pattern over a Viturvian scroll border. The bronze column has an applied cast gilt bronze flying dragon. The reptile sits on a rock outcropping with its tail wrapped around it, its head up lifted and a threaded hole in the center of its mouth. The hole probably supported a mount for a flag or a paper spike. It's possibly it held a candle cup, but it would have been awkward. Unmarked.
