Stone Carved Lion King

This beautiful Verdite Serpentine Stone carving that is a masterpiece in form and proportion.  Its reclining position makes it perfect for a 30-inch-high table to greet your guests at a door or entry area.  Carved by a now deceased African master stone artist from a single stone, it will always be a one of a kind.  The stones are no longer plentiful and most of the skilled artists have perished from the Aids epidemic.  It weighs in at 150 pounds so shipping and locating at the destination are to be given extreme care.   In Zimbabwe, the native Shona tribes interpret Verdite’s spiritual meaning as a powerful conduit for ensuring faithfulness and improving fertility. South African tribes have created verdite carvings and talismans for centuries, incorporating it into their culture.
