Lalique horses head
                             Lalique car mascot “Epsom” as a horses head

 the HORSE HEAD MASCOT on Tom Lyle Williams '40 Packard, is a LALIQUE  France  or copy of. 

 Lalique was famous for their crystal Mascot of the 20s and 30s.

 Most known for crystal but earlier worked in bronze. These Mascots are  a hobby all its own.

TL most likely chose it from a Lalique catalog
(the Packard today, is owned by Bill Snyder.)
