What does this mean?

Dear Susan,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a lion sculpture made out of bronze or brass with the measurements of 6 x 15 x 4 inches. The style and the depiction remind of famous Benin bronzes but this piece was made in the second half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 250 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
