TWO RARE LARGE CAST-BRONZE HELLENISTIC PERIOD DOOR HANDLES
Greek, Hellenistic Age, cast-bronze door handles in the form of a stoic, majestic lion's face with a protruding snout and mane. Within the creature's mouth is a circular ring - used either as a handle or a door knocker - and the remains of 4 iron rivets, visible around the periphery indicate how this handle would have attached to a door.
In the classical world, lions symbolized power, wealth, and might. They were famously featured in many ancient myths, perhaps the most famous being that of Hercules (Herakles) slaying the Nemean Lion for his first labor.
Ancient Greece - Hellenistic Age.
D: 8 in., (20.5 cm.)
Condition: Good overall. Nice green patina. Rusting along the rivets on the front and back.
