Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A cast-bronze head of a lioness that was perhaps used as an attachment for ornate furniture pieces or personal effects.

Thick layers of brown and green patina cover the composition and make for an attractive showpiece. Size: 0.875" W x 1.875" H (2.2 cm x 4.8 cm); 2.875" H (7.3 cm) on included custom stand.
