The pair of sculptures depicting full-figure lions was made in the 20th century from a single block of black Belgian marble. These are ornamental works of good size and highly decorative, suitable for placement in interior and exterior settings of apartments, villas, palaces, and gardens. They can also be placed side by side at an entrance as welcoming figures.
The sculptures are a valuable reproduction of ancient works. The lion sculpture plays an important role due to its historical and artistic interest. In Italy, it has also been widely used associated with its symbolism. The male lion has always held great fascination for humans. Synonymous with royalty, it is by antonomasia the king of animals, a symbol of strength, courage, majesty, and wisdom.
