    Hi all

    this was something else i bought in a lot at a local auction

    thought it was a pottery piece, given the glaze

    but its made of plaster or chalkware

    he's quite handsome and lazy though, and quite charming

    cant seem to find anything similar

    anyone have an idea of age of the piece ?

    any thoughts appreciated

    Maybe a souvenir based on a lion from the tomb Pope Clement XIII by Antonio Canova.

    Souvenirs can be pretty sketchy.
