Description
Wooden pedestal featuring a winged lion figure. Oriental School, 19th century Carved and polychrome rosewood. This unique pedestal features a winged lion carved with remarkable expressiveness, with striking glass eyes set in its head. The back of the sculpture supports a square upper platform, enabling it to be used as a sculptural base or altarpiece. The piece combines symbolic power and technical refinement, reminiscent of the medieval bestiary reinterpreted by 19th-century Portuguese colonial schools, particularly in Asia and Africa. The meticulous carving of the fur, the outstretched wings and the vivid facial expression demonstrate an attention to detail that lends the whole piece an intense stage presence. 101 x 39 x 40 cm.
