Brass Lion Pendant

[cambria09]

Hello out there. I found this piece a few days ago at an old home site that was probably originally active in the 19-teens.

It is brass, 1-3/16 inches in diameter, made in two pieces (like a 2-pc button), and the eyes are glass beads. It looks pretty well made but has no engraving at all on it.

Any idea on the vintage and maker of this item?

Thanks for the view and any information. C9

You've found a very nice brass Victorian 2-piece lion pendant. Below is a website and pic of a reproduction one that is similar to yours.

Hi Breezie. Thanks very much for the reply and the link. Looks like a lion's head was a popular Victorian Era design. HH. C9

Very popular theme at that time. This one is turn of the 20th C.



Yours, no doubt, had an additional stone in the mouth.

Hello DCMatt. Thanks for the reply. The missing "mouth stone" makes sense. I could not figure out the unfinished look in my lion's pie hole. Good luck. C9
