White marble winged lion roaring with a paw on a lion mask shield
Winged Lion With a Lion Mask Shield Marble Statue - 225cm $35,73700
Description

A winged lion stands roaring, the head swung round to face outward and the jaws held wide, its wings folded back along the body in tiered rows of feathers. It is a winged lion rather than a griffin - a maned head with a heavy jaw and no trace of a beak. One forepaw rests on the top edge of a shield standing upright beside it, and the shield is carved with a lion's mask at its centre and rolled scrolls above and below. It stands on a thick rectangular slab. The marble is white with grey veining through the slab and soft clouding across the haunch and the wing.

A Second Face, Kept in Its Place

There are two lion faces on this sculpture and only one of them is allowed to be the subject. The mask on the shield is a face carved on a flat surface at about a third the scale of the real head above it, and if it is cut with the same depth of shadow and the same detail it competes - the eye goes to the shield and the animal becomes its frame. So the mask is deliberately held back: shallower relief, softer edges on the mane locks, eyes left as hollows rather than cut with lids, no undercutting anywhere. It is finished to read at three paces while the animal's own head reads at thirty. Restraint is the whole skill in it, and it is the part of the piece most often overworked.

At 225cm this is the tallest lion in the range and the head is well above head height with the shield facing outward, so it is composed for an approach that comes to it from the front and one side. Gate piers, a courtyard entrance, the foot of a broad flight or a position against a wall that closes off the rear view all suit it - the wings are swept back, so from directly behind there is little to see. It needs a firm level bed for its weight and clear air to one side for the shield. White marble with grey clouding carries well against brick, render and dark planting.

The Tallest Here, and It Wants a Front

Twenty-two to twenty-four weeks, the longest in this group. The slab is cut thick and the shield set out on it first, because the raised forepaw is fitted to the shield rather than the shield to the paw. The animal is roughed standing, wings blocked solid along the back and left that way through the body work. Flank, haunch and legs follow, then the mane, then the wings taken down to their feather rows from the trailing edge forward. The shield's frame and scrolls are cut next and its mask last of the shield work, deliberately shallow. The animal's own head and open jaw are the final cuts. Nothing is pinned or filled. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 6,647kg in two parts, the heaviest here, craned onto a poured concrete foundation.

Other winged beasts are in animal sculptures, and the largest work under life size large statues.

Two large, black bear-shaped sculptures stand indoors near a window with a view of a yard. One sculpture is in the foreground with its back to the viewer, and the other faces forward, creating a mirrored effect. Trees and a chair are visible outside.
A shiny metallic bear sculpture stands on the corner of a modern buildings patio, mirrored by another similar black figure in the foreground. The area features minimalistic architecture with large glass windows.
