Description

The bas-relief of the Winged Lion The lion sculpture at Persepolis is a majestic representation of power and protection in Achaemenid art. Carved on palace walls, this winged lion symbolizes strength and divine vigilance, recalling the mythological creatures of ancient Persia. Its muscular body and outstretched wings illustrate the artistic mastery of Persian sculptors. This motif may be inspired by Mesopotamian and Zoroastrian traditions, incorporating elements of sacred protection. Present among other monumental reliefs, it testifies to the refinement and grandeur of the Achaemenid Empire. These sculptures also had a political role, asserting the king's authority and imperial power. Today, they remain a precious legacy of Persian heritage.

This artwork is crafted in solid laminated oak, carefully shaped to the nearest millimeter using 3D modeling and CNC milling, then meticulously hand-finished by the artists of tomorrow. Every detail is worked with precision to highlight the work and perfect its aesthetics, reflecting unique artistic know-how and a concern for excellence.
