Bronze palanquin end piece with a feline head. - Bronze - India - 18th century

Bronze palanquin end with a feline head. Palanquins, or palankines, were the way to transport royalty and nobles of high means. According to social status, these were more or less adorned; these ends, made in bronze using the lost-wax casting process, reveal a certain status in their owner. Nice old patina from use.
