Nautilus Lion

Clinging to a mother of pearl Nautilus shell, the silver lion seems to hang on by digging in its teeth. The structure is held up by a silver stem supported by a silver scallop shell base. The decorative cup was inspired by the Meraviglie, objects of wonder, created during the Italian Renaissance.
