Specialist note
The original model for these lions was carved by Flaminio Vacca in the 16th Century, as a pendant for the Antique (which is modelled with its proper right paw on the ball). The pair once stood in the garden of the Villa Medici and are now on the steps of the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence.
