    These two fellas have been standing proudly on my Dads balcony for easily +15 years!!

    Unfortunately my Dad passed away after a tough fight vs cancer so now I own these fellas.

    I have no clue regarding the material they are made off, origin or value, hopefully someone can shed some light on this matter!

    About 36cm tall / 14inch ish, haven't had the chance to weigh them yet but easily between 5 to 10 kg each.

    They look like bronze. Do they have any marks, including ones you can't read? Check the bottom and the edges of the base of the statues.

    Hi and welcome @LordJ. Very sorry for your father's passing.
    I did spot these on the bottom of the right lion base....sort of look like Old English Font Initials....but not too clear......maybe you can see if that's what they actually are!!
