This tabletop lectern is a decorative and functional piece crafted entirely of bronze. The base is solid and ornate, with motifs reminiscent of leaves or stylized natural elements, and topped with paw-shaped feet. From the center of the base rises a distinctive stem, sculpted in the shape of a coiled serpent or dragon, adding a symbolic element and striking visual impact. At the top of the stem, a stylized lectern reproduces an open ancient book, with engraved pages simulating a text or formulas (it could be a Bible, an esoteric text, or an ancient codex). The bronze finish is dark and patinated, lending an antique look and depth to the sculpture's details. It's an unusual and distinctive piece, ideal for a study, a bookshelf, or as a decorative element on a desk or table.
