As It is (thanks @art_history_animalia!) I found an unusual piece for you - in fact, what do you even call this? It's 35mm high; it's not a or , but not quite a either?

It features Aslan the , the rightful king of Narnia, from "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". The other side shows the view into the wardrobe & Narnia.

It's from Stephen Collings on Kickstarter who makes challenge coins on movie themes (here's his latest: kickstarter.com/projects/coins )

For ๐Ÿฆ:
The Striding
Daphne, Antioch, 5th c.
Stone & lime mortar
Baltimore Museum of Art
โ€œThe Striding Lion is a curious title for this mosaic because the lion appears to be lunging forward on his hind legs rather than striding on all 4 legs. The title makes sense, however, when we discover that the panel is but a fragment of a much larger composition. In its original state, the lion wouldโ€˜ve occupied the center of a floor & wouldโ€˜ve been oriented horizontally.โ€

"This prehistoric masterpiece painted over 30,000 years ago in Chauvet Cave shows that lions have captured our imaginations for millennia.

Understanding their past is key to helping protect them today and in the future."

Illustration from "From Keeper To Captain", written by Alfred W. Drayson, 1885.

Initials "E. E." in lower left corner may be artist or engraver, but that wasn't enough to identify.

Had other lion pics on file, but they depicted lions being hunted or killed. Decided a lion hunting a man and horse would be better for celebrating World Lion Day.

It's so here is an actual, not AI generated lion. This oke was having a snooze near the road in the Kruger Park and not being very photogenic. Some chop in a bakkie behind us had no patience and honked his horn. Snap! Thanks boet!
