Countdown to LEO - VII


South African Beaded Wire Lion Sculpture (LEO Design)

 

As we march onwards, toward LEO, we are sharing a few of our favorite Kings of the Jungle—each (currently) available for purchase on the LEO Design website.

I brought-back these little beaded lions from a trip to South Africa.  Such sculptures—glass or plastic beads hand-strung upon a wire sculpture—are popular in the Southern part of the continent.  While these lions are modest, one can find enormous and complex specimens of all manner of African animals—some made by renowned sculptors, costing many thousands of dollars.  This little guy—though he's all lion—won't take-up too much space on your desk, bookshelf or windowsill.  Click on the photo above to learn more about him.

More handsome LEOs tomorrow and in the days to come.
