PAIR OF VASES
burnished bronze and Nero Marquina marble
Pair of large burnished bronze vases recalling medieval aquamaniles. The circular base, standing on Nero Marquina marble, is embellished with leafy elements.
The upper part is adorned with two figures: the head of a lion with a finely chased garland emerging from its mouth and a satyr seated on an acanthus leaf, supporting the sinuous handle.
