Golden lion statues from the 11th and 12th centuries

Golden lion statues from the 11th and 12th centuries

This rare and mysterious lion golden sculpture is a symbol of power and authority, carefully decorated with circular filaments and fine grains, consistent with the Islamic goldsmith tradition of later Muslim kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula (now Spain and Portugal). Islam was introduced to Europe in 711 AD, bringing new traditions to decorative arts. Although the handle, spout, and open mouth of this lion statue conform to the form of a sea lizard, its small size may imply more symbolism than functionality. The artwork that is closest in size, style, and craftsmanship to this lion is a winged ram discovered in northwest Spain.

The Academy Awards look like a naked man, his hands crossed on his chest, holding a long sword, standing on a five-ring film plate, each ring representing an important work department of the Academy of Film Arts: production, director, Screenwriter, actor, technician. The original trophy was made by Mayer and given 500 US dollars to George Stanley. The trophy was 13 and a half inches high and weighed 6 and 3/4 pounds. It was made of alloy inside and a layer of gold flakes on the outside. It looked sparkling, so it was called the Academy Award.
