Ely Lion. Taken from the Medieval (1350) carvings that are found upon the highly decorated Misericords within the choir stalls at Ely Cathedral. This carving is known and called by the Cathedral The Ely Lion, this the king of beasts and one closely associated with Royalty is seen her looking straight at the viewer while licking his back thigh. What also is strangely noticeable is the foliage to his side; the lion is holding a leafed branch with his front paws, which can be clearly identified as oak with acorns. This replica is taken directly from the original and replicates all the fine detail and work done by the craftsmen that carved this great piece centuries ago. Designed to display upon a wall this makes a magnificent focal point. Comes with a hanging fixture and product label. Size (H) 23cm x (W) 20cm. |
