Description
Figurehead with lion face or fountain mouth, Vicenza stone, Italy, 20th century Carved Vicenza stone. Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 15 cm. A unique sculptural element in the architectural tradition, conceived as an ornamental mask and also usable as a fountain spout thanks to the presence of the corresponding opening. The piece, originating from Venice and a private collection, represents a fantastical or mythical face of great expressive power, integrated into a series of images inspired by mythological and mystical physiognomies. It stands out for the excellent quality of the carving, the extraordinary precision in the definition of the mouth, eyes, and teeth, and the beautiful patina of the stone, which accentuates its sculptural presence and decorative refinement. Of a well-proportioned size and especially suitable for wall mounting, it is presented in very good condition, intact. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
