~Lion~
As the traditional Leo totem, the lion is a figure of courage, loyalty, friendship, and strength. Legend says that they sleep with open eyes, always ready. Primarily a nocturnal animal, the lion is a symbol of authority and command over subconscious thought.
In the realm of spirit animals, the lion wins the prize for the most relentless fighter in the face of life challenges. The presence of this powerful animal can mean that something wild or difficult to control may be happening. As such, lions symbolize emotions that are difficult to manage, such as anger or fear. The most common lion attributes are: wisdom, power, royalty, dignity, courage, justice, ferocity, dominion, authority, honor, strength, and leadership.
~Leo~
Leo, meaning “lion” in Latin, is the 5th Zodiac sign in astrology. A fire sign, ruling planet being the sun, and associated body part the heart, Leos are highly courageous and love being seen in the limelight. Ambitious, creative, enthusiastic, and witty, a rising sign Leo is hard to miss, and near impossible to forget.
After each artifact or specimen has been discovered it is sent through a careful restoration process before being used in a design. If a particularly unique patina is found to add design value to an artifact, it's preserved & sealed to ensure its longevity & protection.
