 Lion, (Lincoln Cathedral).

Taken from the medieval carvings found upon the misericords and supports within the choir stalls of Lincoln Cathedral. This carving is a most splendid portrait of a lion seemingly biting his own tail and holding this in position with his paw. Again like many wild and ferocious beast carved in the Middle Ages they have been portrayed with a more gentle and tame personality quite opposite to reality. . This is a magnificent carving and reproduced with all the fine and splendid detail of the original carving. Comes with wall fixing and product label.
