    Now that its August and my birth month I though it was time for a suitably lion-like upload and the most suitably lion-like pieces I recently acquired were a fabulous pair of Egyptian sphinx style bookends. To be fair, I rarely come across bookends in all the charity shops I visit so to come across these was definitely a rare threat and a bit of a birthday gift to myself (!) :P. They also go in really well with the rest of the Egyptian collection which is ever growing!
    Both pieces are really heavy and lined with a green velvet underneath, though at a guess I'd still say they are made from resin. They are also stamped with 'C 24' on the back, whatever that mark means....
    Thanks for looking and happy birthday to all other Leos both on CW and elsewhere!!! :D
    Cost- €2 (£1.80/ $2.36)

      Awesome Egyptian bookends, the detail on them is gorgeous down to their lion like claws - great find Lauren! I love the last photo of your Egyptian collection you have such wonderful pieces. A happy happy BD to you & all the best always :)

      Nice resin models, I more recently aquired 2 of the reclining shinx which I admired and they are resin also. I am surprised at how much the detail has improved since the 1990's into this century !~
