This sculpture captivates with its quiet power and noble restraint, portraying a lion stretched out in repose, its massive body resting low to the ground with its head leaning gently on its outstretched paws. The intricately carved mane flows in layered waves, framing the calm expression that combines both majesty and weariness. The heavy limbs and coiled tail emphasize the lion’s strength even in stillness, while the overall posture conveys tranquility and dignity rather than aggression. The verdigris patina enriches the textures of fur and form, lending a timeless depth that enhances the sculpture’s aura of serene strength and enduring presence.
