The lion is thought to have been first designed by Mr Omersa in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. The original lion had “bootee” feet and a painted nose.
Today the lion is available in 4 sizes. It is an impressive piece with a full leather mane which is hand dyed, cut and stripped before attaching to the main body of leather.
- Constructed out of top grain “unfinished” cowhide leather which will develop natural scuff marks reflecting the wear and tear of life.
- Each piece is hand-stained a deep mahogany brown which is then waxed and polished.
- Due to the nature of cowhide and the animals' hand-built internal structure, each piece is never the same giving every piece a unique expression and shape.
- Made to order exclusively for Hunt.
NB: Each piece is made to order, please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.
