A bronze figure of a mythical beast

17th/18th century
Heavily cast seated on its hind legs and the front claws held out in front of the upright body as if grasping a precious object besides two stylised wings, the head with a fierce expression in the incised eyes beneath flowing eyebrows flanking two curving goat-like horns, the long slender raised tail ending in a bifurcated tuft. 19.3cm (7 5/8in) high
