Description
This base (known in Italian as a stiloforo) would have been made to hold a column, like its counterpart (also uploaded to Scan the World). It is in the form of a lion, which is a common guardian animal which would protect religious and political establishments. The work was created in the second half of the 18th Century for a Cathedral, by an unknown sculptor from Padova.
