Баварские львы · Лев

If you descend the outside stairs to the gardens of Nymphenburg Palace, you will see that they are flanked by two majestic lions, sitting down and looking at each other behind the Bavarian coat of arms. The sculptor Franz Xaver Lorch used the two life-sized animals as models in 1958 to make a pair of porcelain figurines for the manufactory’s master workshops. Each of these figures only measures 17 centimetres, yet like their bigger relatives, they proudly present the Bavarian coat of arms in a richly decorated rocaille frame.
