Description

Large Roaring Lion Sculpture with Painted Gold Finish Late 20th Century | Composite Construction An impressive and theatrically styled large-scale sculpture of a roaring lion, its front paw poised assertively atop a smooth orb — a classical motif symbolising dominion and strength. This eye-catching piece is cast in a durable composite material and finished in a bold, hand-painted gold, with darker shading to the mane to bring out depth and detail. The lion’s muscular form is convincingly rendered, with attention paid to anatomical structure, facial expression, and movement. The expression is dynamic and fierce, the mane deeply textured, and the stance well balanced and engaging from all angles. The sculpture is mounted on a rectangular base, also painted, lending it stability and visual presence. This is a decorative piece likely made in the latter part of the 20th century, suitable for theatrical, interior, or commercial display — particularly effective in a hallway, gallery, or retail environment seeking impact and character. The painted gold finish has a bright, warm tone and retains an even sheen, with only minor rubbing in places consistent with age and handling. Dimensions: Height: 100 cm Width: 75 cm Depth: 42 cm Condition: Very good condition overall. Structurally sound, with minor wear to the painted finish as shown.
