How does the artist show the lion’s fierce character?
This king of the jungle is sure to capture your attention. Turkish artist Selçuk Yilmaz created this sculpture of a male lion, titled Aslan, which is Turkish for “lion.” The artist made the lifelike lion using nearly 4,000 scraps of metal. He cut and hammered each fragment of steel by hand, capturing the curves and details of the majestic creature, from its flowing mane to its toned muscles. It took the artist 10 months to complete the sculpture, which tips the scales at 550 pounds. That’s one impressively large cat!
