This totem arises from the rock formations at the Valley of the Temple in Sicily, the antique drain pipes of ancient times in Siracusa and the front steps of the Marini Marino Museum in Florence.

Sicilian Lion Totem - These lion images arose during a trip to Sicily. Lions appeared in many places- in the stones of antiquity, in antique drain pipes, in museum sculptures. They came together and formed a totem that captures the essence of the lion through the ages. This piece was first made in clay and then turned into bronze at the historic Giudice Fonderia in Tuscany, Italy.
