Charming Little Hand-carved Wooden Lion for the garden swimming amidst reeds at theSuch a great little lion! I'm having a really hard time resisting little handmade creatures, especially those that that possess such a wonderful sense of the humanity of their maker, as does this one. I love how the line of her nose extends all the way down from her eyes (which seem to see into my soul!), the human lips, and the super straight whiskers on either side above it. This little lion is definitely owning the space in which she lounges! 4 3
