Bronze Dragon, Italy 16th c.
Long before people were buying Kaiju toys off of ebay there were these sort of ...collectables.
"This statuette of a winged dragon is a development of a medieval tradition of casting representations of fabulous creatures in brass. It would have been made to order for a wealthy patron, as an ornament for the home."
