Tanzania - Golden Mohair and Tibetan Lamb Lion



 Tanzania - my last golden lion

Meet Tanzania who is 22" wide from nose to rear leg and 15" tall to top of head. He is made from a tawny gold mohair, both short for his body and longer curly fur for his belly. His mane is a Tibetan lamb pelt that I spritzed with hair oil/water to tame and braided for nice ripples. He has elaborate thick wire armature inside so he can stand on his own and is entirely hand sewn. I needle-felted the paler parts of his eyes and muzzle and sculpted his resin clay nose for realism. I coat these noses with satiny clear varnish for durability. He piercing glass eyes have elaborate eyelids. After having made many golden lions in my career, Tanzania will be my last. He is fully jointed and stuffed with polyfil and has a tush tag and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Layaway available, see below for details.
