Lion of Venice, Italy - 3D Resin Fridge Magnet
Size: about 5-8 cm
Material: Resin
Design: Lion of Venice
The Lion of Venice is an ancient bronze winged lion sculpture in the Piazza San Marco of Venice, Italy, which came to symbolize the city – as well as one of its patron saints, St Mark – after its arrival there in the 12th century. The sculpture surmounts one of two large granite columns in the Square, thought to have been erected between 1172–1177 during the reign of Doge Sebastiano Ziani or about 1268, bearing ancient symbols of the two patron saints of Venice.
Because many of the original totems were carved as early as the 1880s, they have been sent to museums for preservation. The totems you see at Brockton Point today are new ones commissioned or loaned to the park between 1986 and 1992.
A visit to this part of the world would be a wonderful experience which could be remembered, by purchasing this attractive fridge magnet from zamonji.com Internet Store. If you never make the trip then this is still a lovely piece of memorabilia of this amazing creature and country.
