Lion - Marionette Puppet

🦁 "Not the loudest in the jungle. Just the one everything else goes quiet for." 🌿

From The Menagerie collection strides the Lion — the undisputed sovereign of the savannah, rendered in handcrafted stoneware clay and upcycled materials with all the gravity and warmth the King deserves. This is not a roaring, teeth-bared caricature of power. This is the lion at rest — unhurried, watchful, and utterly certain of his place in the world.

Part of Sara's exploration beyond humanoid forms, The Menagerie celebrates the Animal Kingdom in all its glory — real and imagined. The Lion is the collection's crown jewel: a creature whose mythology spans every culture on earth, from the sphinxes of Egypt to the heraldic lions of medieval Europe to the great maned kings of the Serengeti. He has always meant something. He still does.

His mane is the centrepiece — full, tawny, and sculpted with the kind of textural detail that rewards a second look. His colouring moves through warm ochres and golden ambers, sun-bleached at the tips and deep at the roots, exactly as nature intended. Every articulated limb is engineered for lifelike movement, so that when he walks, he walks like something that has never once been afraid.
