This beautifully carved Italian wall plaque depicts the Winged Lion of Venice, the historic symbol of St. Mark and the emblem of the city of Venice. Rendered in sculpted plaster with rich detail, the lion’s expressive face, flowing mane, and sweeping wings create a dramatic and captivating presence. The figure holds a book tablet—an iconic Venetian motif symbolizing wisdom, peace, and protection.
The lower left corner bears the inscription:
“Luigi Paventino – Laboratorio – Venezia – Italia”,
identifying the piece as a work from the Paventino workshop in Venice, known for handcrafted architectural and sculptural reproductions.
The plaque retains its original iron mounting bracket on the reverse, giving it both authenticity and a strong, sturdy display option.
