Cave Lion, male, reconstructed at 1:20 scale and hand-painted in polyurethane resin. 160 × 75 mm. Sculpted by J. Miguel Aparicio, made to order.
The cave lion ranged from Iberia to Alaska and is among the best documented of Ice Age predators, thanks to the Palaeolithic artists who drew it on cave walls at Chauvet. Those drawings show males without the full mane of modern African lions, and the reconstruction follows that evidence rather than assuming a modern template.
Modelled by hand in heat-hardened clay over a wire armature, moulded in silicone and cast in polyurethane resin. Every copy is cleaned, retouched and painted by hand in acrylics, so no two pieces are ever strictly identical.
Made to order. Each casting is finished individually, so please allow time for preparation before dispatch.
