lion and snake

[kyphote]

Can anyone help with this one? It depicts a lion's head with a snake above it. I'm researching this for a friend who posted to another forum with no success. It has some weight and is not a fly or keyhole cover. For clarity, I've included the same item (red background) found by a gentleman in TN. Thanks as always.

Note: as a followup, I've added the one found by Mainedigger following Bramble's lead. Thanks, Bramble!

I just did a search on the forum and found that in addition to the one you have pictured which was posted last month - another of these was posted a few years ago. Found in Maine?

There is a Lion & Swan Hotel in Congleton, UK?

In alchemy it represents the spirit and female soul.

Best so far: WWII era Russian Naval Officers dress dagger belt & hanger.

Getting close, perhaps from some earlier version?

Wow, thanks for the link. Having visited the thread, it's fascinating to note that Mainedigger's object is 2 inches high and my friend's is 5. The design, however, is identical. It's also interesting that the item has been found from Maine to Tennessee.

This is also compelling -- great research, Charlie. A definite consideration in my book.

I believe your friends measuring stick is metric. Unless it's divided into tenths of an inch. I believe both of these are the same size.

In millimeters, indeed! Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah, I was tipped off to that and added it to my initial post. Seems to be too many of these circulating not to get an ID. Maybe horse related as suggested. Whenever I'm in doubt, the words "horse related" somehow set my mind at ease.
