Atsuyoshi 厚義 Maruki Company 丸喜社 - Study Of A Roaring Lion

A large-sized sculpture in patinated bronze depicting a study of a roaring lion.
The lion’s gaping jaws display its sharp teeth, while the finely sculpted whiskers protrude in relief.
The bronze patina gives the sculpture a rich and deep tone, while the metal’s luster enhances the shapes and contours of the artwork. This combination of patina and shine serves to accentuate the expressiveness and power of the roaring lion.
