Though the most feared and lethal predator of the jungle, the beauty of a lion is undeniable. This 100% carefully handmade and fully detailed sculpture includes the smallest details of the king of all wild cats, including the stretch of its limbs, cut of its muscles, curve of its back and glare of its watchful eyes. Hints of gold glint from it's mane as if struck by rays of sunlight while on the prowl in an open field searching for its latest meal. This is a two-toned brown patina with gold highlights, using the Lost Wax Method and mounted on a black marble base and is signed by artist Milo. World famous sculptor "Milo" is the artistic partner of the Lynn Forbes School of Sculpture-and is offering an exclusive signature in the wax of every piece of his items, which are Custom Cast with European Bronze Finery. In effect it makes EACH SCULPTURE an ORIGINAL since each one is different than the next (similar to a Limited Edition). Again, Milo-our partner-IS THE ORIGINAL SCULPTOR of this incredible work of art. Milo was born in Paris in 1939; Milo lived most of his childhood in Andalusia, Spain. Influenced by an artistic family background, he began sculpting at the age of seventeen. After apprenticing with several accomplished sculptors both in America and Spain, he began his own work focusing equally on steel and bronze. Horses and other animals were a natural direction of his work to follow. As a child he was surrounded by horses and witnessed the fighting bulls of Spain gave him an instinct for the inherent drama of these animals. Combining a special cement mixture with steel has allowed him the fluidity of metal with the timelessness of stone. This process enables him to capture the essence of the animal's nature. The characteristic rough texture and movement of line make Milo work easily identifiable in both cement and bronze.
