Description

Inkwell advertising (and representing) the product of a cement company, featuring its lion mascot and bags and barrels of product. The piece has old chips to the base below the barrel, making the lion’s plinth appear as an architectural ruin and ever more realistic. The upright barrel behind the lion is hollowed for ink (or perhaps your pens).

 

Condition

Handsome patina, old chips.
