It took us a while to design this symbolic "Guardian Lion" Memorial Urn, sorting through a lot of actual pictures of "The King of Beasts" and trying to create the right feel and position. At first, we made the urn box and then added the sculpture on the top. Our Lion is not sleeping, he is guarding the final resting place. For casting material, we use a polymer resin/ crashed stone mixture and finish it by hand with a Bronze patina. By utilizing this technique, we can implement the look of real metal without real metal casting expenses.
