A Staffordshire porcelaneous figure by John and Rebecca Lloyd of Shelton Staffordshire. The figure group was inspired by the lion tamer Van Ambrugh who trained a lion to lie with the lamb as described in biblical texts. Princess Victoria (later Queen), enthralled with the act, attended the Dury Lane performance on two occasions. The quality of John and Rebecca Lloyd is exceptional, and their technique of decorating the lion's mane has never been surpassed.
Dimensions: 4 inches high
Current Condition: Some rubbing of the gilt and minor wear consistent with age.
