The Challenge

Bronze, Edition of 24

15”x 22”x 12”

"Whereas the female members of a Lion pride may stay together for their entire lives, the dominant male, whose job it is to protect the pride and its territory and mate with the females, is often driven off by a younger, stronger male after only a few years.
Two magnificent male African Lions are depicted here at the moment before physical
contact, the challenger hoping to wrest control of the pride from its master. Each is
putting on his fiercest display, hoping the other will back down before an actual fight
becomes necessary. I like to think that that is what will happen here"
