An Antique pair of brass pelican finials ..C1:
$1500.00
9 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches. Classical ecclesiastical pelican symbols of an unknown origin. Clearly quite old and significant this form goes ll the way back to classical culture in Greece and Rome and survived within the church symbolizing self sacrifice and charity. I was very happy to find these quite a while back and have had various ideas on their origen. If mounted these would be very fine tand alone sculptures fitting the finest or prestige environment.
