Model of Nelson's column - figure

Black basalt model based on Nelson's column. It disassembles into seven pieces - the base, column and figure with four separate lions. The four neo-classical reliefs on the base differ from those on the actual monument and symbolise music, literature, the fine arts and medicine. Figure is damaged.
