DescriptionFabulous decorative accent with a near-ancient twist... Right out of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," this is such an expressive example of Midieval art! French, Ca 13th century, Chimera (chimera were the non-functional equivalent of the gargoyle attached to the facade of the building to scare away evil spirits). Part lion, part wolf and pure scary! Custom stand. 5"W x 8-1/4"T. Quite heavy. Generally excellent.
ProvenanceEx-James W. Newton Estate, TX.
