Description
Stone mask or fountain spout with lion's head, Vicenza, Italy, 20th century
Carved Vicenza stone. Dimensions: 25 x 30 x 16 cm. A unique sculptural element in the architectural tradition, representing a lion's head, conceived as an ornamental mask and also usable as a fountain spout thanks to the presence of an opening. The piece, originating from Venice and a private collection, stands out for the quality of the carving, the extraordinary precision in the definition of the features, and the expressive power of the modeling, which gives the whole an appearance of great vibrancy and plastic solidity. The stone's rich patina further accentuates its decorative and sculptural character. Of a well-proportioned size and especially suitable for wall mounting, it is presented in very good, complete condition. 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.
