Lion at The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg

myminifactory

Lions often were used symbolically and may have played significant roles in magic, as deities or given a close association with deities, and served as intermediaries and clan identities. Frequently, they are depicted in the earliest of graphic representations by humans as organised hunters with great strengths, strategies, and skills. This object is part of "Scan The World".
