A BRONZE ROMAN LION KEY HANDLE, 3RD CENTURY A.D. A bronze key handle, 3rd century A.D., features a reclining lion in a detailed, lifelike pose. The lion’s majestic mane and expressive facial, with its open mouth and forward-stretching paws symbolising both authority and protection.


The figure likely served as the handle for a large key, as suggested by the intricately designed base, which would have been affixed to the key mechanism.
