Very Nice find, would love to find something like that. I would say its probably some kind of sculpture and would take it to a antique dealer. GREAT FIND :thumbsup:

I have a mantel clock from the 1880's that has lion heads
on each end of it. Each head has a ring in the mouth for
handles to pick it up. The heads are about the same size
as yours. Just my two cents worth.
