Cast iron doorstop showing a lion and snake, circa 1890.

A lion and snake often symbolise duality and conflict. The lion represents strength, courage, and royalty, while the snake signifies cunning, transformation, and danger. Together, they embody the balance of power and wisdom, or the struggle between opposing forces, illustrating complex themes of dominance, protection, and resilience.
