We also offer monumental sculptures of majestic animals symbolizing power and determination.   Like the Roman eagle, the lion was also one of the most important symbols of the Roman Empire and the Macedonian empires with which rulers like Julius Caesar, Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great identified.  The lion is also found in the Persian, Hellenistic, and Greek art and sculpture.  It was further adopted as symbol of the British Empire and lion sculptures are today found in many parts of the English speaking world.  This particular lion pose is almost the same as that of the lions guarging the New York Public Library in Mannhattan http://www.nypl.org/pr/lions.cfm which have stood there for almost a century.  Our lions, however, are more detailed as you can see when compared, and they are made of museum quality bronze.  These large sculptures are perfect for the garden or the entrance gates of your estate.  They will easily inspire respect and recognition from any visitor.
