Here's a cool little lion ornament I picked up at a local auction last weekend. Not sure exactly where it came from but it's about three inches long and just under a 1lb. I tested with a magnet and it will not stick. Tail is broke off but I loved the way it sits on the pedestal ready to pounce. Anyone have an idea where this came from?

    Paper weight ... at least the one I have is .... but it seems mine is defective as it has a tail. It is made of brass and there is no way to attach it to anything except to glue it. I don't know where mine is but will post when I find it. I think the slope is the same but the lion is a little less detailed than mine.
