RARE LIONESS SELDJOUKIDE IN BRONZE
Elegant lioness in cast solid bronze exhibiting an alert pose with a straight head and pointed, pointy ears, standing squarely on her forelegs.
The triangular shape extending behind the torso was probably a support on which a vessel rested.
This fabulous lion was most likely a foot supplemented with two more to fully support a vessel, perhaps a cauldron or a brazier.
The meticulous details of the face demonstrate the expert technique practiced by the ancient craftsmen of the Seljuk dynasty.
In addition to birds, lions were among the most beloved animals of the Near East. This example with its beautifully curved silhouette, its vivid details and its magnificent green and red patina are truly exceptional!
Elegant, bespoke, museum-quality stand.
Anatolia, Seljoukide empire, around the 11th / 12th century
Dimensions: height 5.3 cm (9.6 cm with the base) - width 3.5 cm
Perfect condition - no restoration
