A LION FOR CHRISTMAS

Looking for an unusual Christmas present for keen gardeners, alpha males or very very good children? These magnificent, life-size limited edition lion sculptures could make the purr-fect gift.

The sleek, 6ft (1.8m) lions would be the pride of any home, office or garden and at only 2ft (60cms) wide, they fit into surprisingly narrow spaces. Created by one of Britain's leading sculptors and hand-made in the UK, the 25kg fibreglass lions are primed ready for painting to your own design.

In Asia, lions are considered excellent feng shui, with many homes displaying pairs of temple lions or fu dogs, which are thought to offer powerful protection for your home or business.

Why not get creative this Christmas and decorate your very own king of the beasts? Leo could be painted to match the home decor, customised in company colours for a unique company mascot, or imaginatively enhanced with special paint treatments, mosaics or decoupage.

For smaller spaces, replica 1ft (30cm) mini-lions, made in Bath from white plaster of Paris, are also available. The 6ft lions are on sale for �850 plus delivery and the mini-lions are a cub-size �39 + �12 UK delivery. Orders by 10th December for Christmas delivery.
