Beautiful decorative wall plaque in gilded bronze, not patinated. Antique, late 19th to early 20th century, probably cut from a larger relief. Profile of Marianne with a helmet, Syndicate of Industries? In an Art Nouveau style, with a laurel crown and wings on the helmet; however, it is adorned at the top with a small lion rather than a rooster as is usually the case. 20cm high, about 16cm wide, about 5mm thick max. Very good overall condition, stiff cutting at the nape of the neck; this part has not been detailed. The color of the bronze is between gold and copper; it has been cleaned, and a darker gold patina will likely gradually appear. Home attachment on the back. Approximately 800-900g. Not signed.
