Description: This item is a cast metal British "Lion Rampant" heraldic architectural pediment plaque. It is designed to be mounted as an ornamental topper or emblem, often used historically on iron gates, fencing, or decorative cabinetry.
Dimensions: 4” Tallx .25” Thick
Current Item Condition: Molded out of heavy cast aluminum. It retains traces of a gold/tan painted patina. The piece appears to have some oxidation, wear, and paint loss consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century outdoor exposure.
History: This specific Elizabethan-style lion design has been mass-reproduced by ornamental metal companies (such as King Metals) for decades to serve as replacement finials, gate decorations, or reproduction wall plaques. Produced between 1960 and 1990
