Keeping watch over his pride, this lion figurine is poised to defend against any harm that may come his way. Hand carved by artist Gordon Adu, the gyata, which translates to "lion" in the Akan language, shows himself as the great protector. Crafted from wood and local clay, the artist tints the sculpture and adds teeth constructed from recycled plastic to make clear this magnificent animal's reign as king of the jungle.

THIS PIECE OF WOOD HAS A HEFT AND WEIGHT TO IT, THE CARVING IS SPECTACULAR! IT IS A POWERFUL LION! I HAVE PUT HIM NEAR AN ALBRIJE GIRAFFE WHO IS TRYING TO EAT MY MOTHERS HYDRANGEAS IN A DEER VASE. TRUST ME, ITS SUCH A GREAT SETTING. THIS IS MASCULINE ENOUGH TO GIVE TO A GUY. i AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY LEO. ;)

This Maroon Lion sculpture is even more impressive in reality than the photo; I was delighted with my purchase! The colours are really vibrant with intricate carvings, and it has a substantial and weighty feel to the piece. I highly recommend this artist.
