AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An aquamanile in the shape of a lion. This object was modeled after a 13th-century lion-shaped aquamanile. It is made of brass or bronze. Such objects can be used as an aquamanile or an oil lamp. They were taken at the end of the 19th century by students on their Grand Tour. What is rare is that the small chain with a stopper that could be placed on the 'tongue' to close the reservoir remains completely intact. Also notable is that the figure is equipped with a glossy silver-colored (nickel) finish. Approximate dimensions: L: 13.5 cm, H: 13 cm.
