Description from the seller

Museum AXLE HOUSING (Cascia di Fuso) - Sicilian Cart 19th Century - Carabinieri & Dragons - Unrestored

Rare iconography: The hand-forged iron shows two heads in uniform with the distinctive bicorne hats of the Carabinieri, flanked by two dragons with individually detailed scale armor.
Symbolism: The composition is complemented by two angels, two doves of peace and central symbols of abundance (jug/vase) – a rare fusion of state authority, mythology and Christian protection.
Condition: Absolutely authentic.
