A lovely Medici Lion Garden Statue. This lion is majestically posed with a front foot resting on a ball and mounted on a large
plinth. This lion is constructed of composition stone and is in a lovely condition. C1920
The Sphere: The ball or sphere under the lion's paw represents dominance over the world or steady control.
The Expression: The calm, turned head shows composed authority and majesty rather than blind aggression.
Historical Status: Commissioned or displayed by the powerful Medici family in Florence, the statues served as an architectural seal of elite leadership, justice, and military strength.
This lion would make a great statement piece in the garden or for the entrance of a grand house.
