A bold, one-of-a-kind sculpture for those who like their décor with character. This lion skull is hand-cast in solid recycled metal by the artisans at The Banana Box Company, using the traditional sand-casting method — where molten scrap metal is poured into a hand-formed sand mould, then broken free and finished by hand.
Because each mould is made and used only once, no two pieces are ever identical. The subtle casting marks, texture and natural patina you see are not flaws but the signature of a genuinely handmade object — a record of the fire, the metal and the maker’s hand.
Reclaimed from scrap and given new life as art, it’s a piece with a conscience as well as presence: a striking focal point on a shelf, mantel or desk, and a natural conversation-starter. Equally at home in a rustic interior, a modern gallery-style space or a study full of curiosities.
