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?
