Description: A flat clay textured square is the backdrop for this sculpture. It is full of color - brown, dark olive green, and steel blue. The lion has a large circular brown head with four long olive green limbs projecting from the top, suggesting a mane. A round ball creates its eye, and it has a matching blue circle on its face. Its round blue body is the same size as its head. Two small tails extend off the back. Two legs are attached to feet created from round balls of clay. Its belly is made up of three balls, side-by-side.
