(Antoine L. Bayre, from: 1795-1875.) The lion is depicted as a ferocious African lion looking outward for his next meal or to warn anyone not to get too close to him. The lion rests on his back legs and his front legs are upright to support his beautiful maned, king of the beasts of Africa, head. This sculpture is signed "Bayre" on the back left paw with dimensions of: 55"x28"x41", weight: 204 lbs.

Very good overall, showing light display marks.
