Bavarian Lion on Round Pedestal, 4.7" by Nymphenburg Porcelain
Bavarian Lion on Round Pedestal, 4.7" by Nymphenburg Porcelain
Lions have represented the House of Wittelsbach since 1242. Representing courage and valor, many of the lions wield the shield of blue and white oblique diamonds. The shield also dates back to the same period but evolved to its current appearance in 1950.
In 1993, Anton Hörl added further motifs to the family of Bavarian lions. In this model, the majestic heraldic animal is sitting on a circular base. The lion’s full mane falls neatly behind its head, and it is holding the blue and white escutcheon with both front paws.
Dimensions: 2" dia. x 4.7"
