SCULPTOR'S MODEL With roaring lion's head. Sculpted in the round, this aggressive stance is reflected in every detail of its physiognomy; fine wrinkles have been carved into the muzzle and humped brow bone. The eyes are wide open. A line carved around the face marks the beginning of the mane, which is crudely detailed with tool marks. The back is partially sculpted into a tenon. With a few exceptions, such as the earthenware lion's head in the Cleveland Museum (fig.1), 1974.87, representations of roaring lions in Egyptian art are rare.

AMÉLIE, duchesse en Bavière, née princesse de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha (1848-1894) - Set of 9 L.A.S.: "Amélie", Biederstein, Hanover, Tegernsee, dated December 23, 1885 to December 20, 1886, addressed to his mother, Princess Clementine of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (1817-1907), 35 pages including some on headed paper with her monogram under crown, bordered in black, text in French, folds, overall good condition. An old postcard of Biederstein Castle and an old postcard of Tegernsee are enclosed. December 30, 1885: "(...) the shopping and Christmas days have made me very tired, and now I sit dreadfully before the mass of letters to be written, so forgive us dear mother these few lines. The mother-in-law's tree was very beautiful, she gave me the children's portrait and Hélène [her sister-in-law, the Princess of Tour et Taxis] gave me splendid presents (...)". -January 14, 1886: "(...) I'm writing from bed, I've been quite ill, it started with a cold, then again this nasty inflammation of the mucous membrane with eye and face pain (...)from morning till night I was vomiting blood, we were afraid for the poor thing to come, I hope it won't happen again (...) Domestic politics are very serious here, I'm not sure what we'll see this winter, a crisis seems almost inevitable, but nobody dares to talk about it openly (...)". - January 20, 1886: "I'm resuming my life with a little weakness, a little pain and all the stay the odious nose job that Ferdinand knows so well! Yesterday I was even able to go to the Queen's [his sister-in-law, the Queen of Naples] luncheon, it gave me pleasure to see poor Paz, always so kind, but she looks poor, she's also a family lot! Louis-Ferdinand, with Ferdinand's head turned, told me that he had pledged eternal friendship! (...) If you'd like to bring me the King of Thessaly when you come to see me, I've already heard about it, otherwise I have a lot of books in preparation, because you know that I read more and more slowly, the weaker the nerves in my head. Now I'm reading La Cour à Compiègne (The Court at Compiègne), which is curious and makes you wonder how the court ... is Bonapartist after all the tricks Napoleon III played on it! Mme de Coleimine is here, and we find her very beautiful! I was saddened by Duloi's death, which is a great loss for us! The Baroness de Rothschild sent me a plush pink horse covered with roses and hummingbirds, it's delicious! Prince Guillaume de Wurtemberg is getting married, just as I thought he would in Hohenbourg (...)". - January 20, 1886: "(...) it was high time the Rudolphs [Archduke Rudolph of Austria and his wife Princess Stephanie of Belgium] became kind to you! The Zigeuner's music has made me deeply sad since Dad's death; it awakens the best memories of our happy past life (...) I think the Greeks are a bit crazy to want to launch themselves into a war against Turkey with the great powers against them! I haven't had any response to my New Year's wishes for Aunt Victoria and Beatrice, which is a first. I can't tell you all the gossip in society here about Countess Fugger's stay with me, about what's wrong with her ... I'm beginning to get annoyed, is it jealousy? I hardly understand the purpose (...)". - February 8, 1886: "Amélie's engagement to Carlos from Portugal, which Paris telegraphed to me yesterday, gave me great pleasure, for I was very interested in the happiness of this charming child. God grant that she may be happy, the position is beautiful, and he... (as a character). Uncle Aumale sent me his history of the Condés, which I am very touched by (...)". -April 26, 1886: "I'm sorry about the paper, but I'm writing in the garden on my deckchair, where I spend most of the day enjoying this wonderful weather (...) I almost felt ill on Holy Saturday. The Philippes arrived on Thursday, he left again for Schladming, Louise is very good and kind here, Max arrived shortly after them, looking very well and satisfied with his military service and the great kindness we had for him there. The Empress, my sister-in-law, is here, but she said she didn't want to see us because of the smallpox (the children have been out of quarantine for 15 days). My mother-in-law comes every day, the Hohenzollerns, I've had so many visits these days that I've been completely stunned (...)". - September 22, 1886: "(...) I don't know if I've told you about the Montpensiers' good visit, only so short that their retinue missed the train, it was (...) noise, running about, Eulalie fainting, my mother-in-law seized and the young ladies laughing themselves to tears! (...) Tomorrow we're going to Munich, perhaps the day after tomorrow to Hohenschwa.
