About the Item

These regal lions, both depicted in a recumbent position with one forepaw crossed over the other, would make wonderful garden ornaments. Originally from Belgium, circa 1960, the cast stone lions have a light gray hue with areas of dark gray, ochre, and brown patination. The lions are extremely well-detailed, specifically their expressive faces that are surrounded by a lush mane. Measuring 35 inches long, these Belgian lions are large enough to be displayed as is, but if placed on top of pedestals, they would command even more attention, especially if flanking a driveway, sidewalk, or entryway.
