Description
A faithful miniature replica of one of the two iconic marble lions guarding the main entrance of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
This is Patience or Fortitude (the two official names of the lions), perfect as a paperweight or small collectible. Detailed and recognizable, it captures the elegance and majesty of the famous lion in reduced scale.

Value for Ghostbusters fans
For Ghostbusters fans, this paperweight has particularly high sentimental value:
- It’s one of the most iconic elements from the 1984 film: the two NYPL lions appear in a memorable scene right at the beginning of the first Ghostbusters, when the protagonists enter the library and witness the first paranormal phenomenon.
- It represents a piece of “Ghostbusterian” New York that many fans recognize immediately. Having one of the two lions (Patience or Fortitude) on your desk or in your collection directly recalls the atmosphere of the film.
- It’s a discreet, elegant, and functional object (paperweight) that lets you show your passion for Ghostbusters in a subtle and not overly “nerdy” way, perfect even for the office or home library.
