A lion-shaped aquamanile. This object was modeled after a 13th-century lion-shaped aquamanile. The object was made in the late 1800s. It is made of brass or bronze. Such objects can be used as an aquamanile or a small oil lamp. They were taken up at the end of the 19th century by students on their Grand Tour.
Originally, a small chain was attached to the chest with a cap that could be placed on the "tongue" to seal the reservoir.
