Lion of Lucerne relief

How beautiful! I just researched the "Lion of Lucerne" -- just wow! Now I need to go to Switzerland to see the original!
I'm sorry I can't help you on valuation, I was so moved by your lovely item that I had to comment.

I hope there is someone here that knows something about it!
