6" Bronze Winged Lion of Saint Mark Statue

A finely cast 6-inch bronze sculpture depicting the Winged Lion of Saint Mark, the historic symbol of Venice. The lion stands atop a tiered base and holds an open book inscribed with the classic Latin text "Pax Tibi Marce Evangelista Meus."Beautifully detailed with rich patina and crisp casting, this small-scale bronze is an elegant decorative piece for collectors of European or ecclesiastical art.
