Antique Hand Carved Wooden Lion of Lucerne - Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti 1792
This is(likely) an antique hand-carved wooden Lion of Lucerne. It is inscribed with the words"Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti" and is dated MDCCXCII or"To the Loyalty and Bravery of the Swiss- 1792" It measures approximately 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" and is about 2 1/4" high. There is an actual carving in stone that commemorates the many fallen men of the Swiss Guard who died trying to protect the French royal family from rebels in 1792. The dying lion. Impaled by a spear, covers a shield bearing the French monarchy's fleur-de-lis emblem. Beside him is the Swiss shield. There are some wear marks at the corners of the base. On the back of the Swiss shield, the back of the lion, his nose, and on his hind quarters. There may be some slight wood loss to the Swiss shield and tip of the spear, and the lion's paw and ... moremane. The spear tip from the lion's body is missing. See pics.
