The smiling lions are very expressive, with a wry grin, exposing their sharp teeth, and attentive eyes. A pair of front paws emerge from the long flowing mane that covers the lion. Both lions have retained their rectangular attachment block, but most owners will prefer to use our carved Renaissance lions as sculptural art. less
