A mid 19th century bronze sculpture of a lion, probably after the Medici Lions, the beast with full mane and open mouth, his left front paw resting on a ball, standing on a socle textured to resemble cobbles , apparently unsigned, Italian or possibly French circa 1870.
 
Condition: Excellent, the piece is in very good condition with no damage or repairs, there does not appear to be a signature anywhere on the piece however it has a look that suggests that it could be taken from the Italian Early Renaissance, hence the attribution to the Medici Lions.
