Not on view
Antique ewer with a handle in the shape of a lioness. The ewer is further covered with various antique motifs including a bovine skull and garlands suspended from lion-shaped masks. From a composite series published by Antonio Lafreri with vase designs after the antique by Enea Vico and Agostino Veneziano. The Vico prints were first published by the artist in 1543, the Lafreri edition is dated circa 1573 based on its presence in Lafreri’s catalogue, but may have been issued earlier.
