This antique stone mask was probably used in a fountain. It is a very decorative Italian antique object. The mask fits as decorative object on a bureau or placed somewhere else in a living space. This mask depicts a lion head or a moustached male face, it is hard to understand since the lower part of the sculpture is missing. This loss makes this fragment undefined and fascinating.
These fountain masks were designed to be on a wall or pedestal over a basin with the water flowing through the mouth.
Italian origin, dated to early 1900, it comse from a Milanese private collection.
