The Lion King?

I make a lot of piggy banks. Most are special orders and I have to make what is requested. Don't get me wrong, I love making piggy banks with kids names. It keeps me in touch with what all the cool parents are naming their kids these days. Once in awhile I can break away from the orders and make something different.

This time it was a Lion Bank.

He is my take on a Chinese guardian lion, with a friendlier face.

I am really happy with how the shino glaze and wood ash worked for this form.

I have been hanging on to him for a bit. Eventually I will list him for sale on Etsy. In the mean time I will study him.
