After the Antique Bronze Lion Appliqué (Roundel) replica bought in prestigious Auction House The object is a circular bronze appliqué (roundel) decorated in relief with a frontally rendered lion’s head. The lion displays a broad, expressive face with almond-shaped eyes, a pronounced nose, and a slightly open mouth, creating a strong, mask-like appearance. The mane is arranged in stylized, radiating locks that fill the circular field, giving the piece a balanced and decorative symmetry. The surface exhibits a green to dark-brown patina, typical of aged bronze, with visible wear that softens the relief while leaving the main features clearly legible. The reverse was likely plain or equipped for attachment, indicating its function as an applied ornamental element, possibly used on furniture, a casket, architectural fittings, or decorative mounts. According to the auction catalogue, the piece is described as “probably made after Antiquity,” indicating a post-antique creation inspired by ancient models, rather than an original ancient artifact. The appliqué was purchased at auction from Gorny & Mosch, a German numismatic and antiquities auction house, and originates from a collection formed in the 1970s.
