This brass statue, a simple form not involving any kind of intricacy yet revealing rare luster and a great finish, represents a lion, the most majestic of all animals. The forelegs fully stretched for making a long leap, and the hind, collected to optimize the body’s force, the tail secured on the back lest it hindered the pace, the eyes fixed on the target, ears alert to the faintest sound of moving feet, and the wide-open mouth with lolling tongue and sharp canine teeth eager to tear and devour, in everything there reflects the animal’s readiness to charge at its kill or to avert danger. From white to black lions have a variety of colors of body-hair, especially the mane, though in them the golden yellow that the people around Gir sanctuary in Gujarat, the house of the largest number of lions in India, call ‘pilo’ – yellow, which this Lion Brass Statue represents, is more lustrous, spectacular and characteristic.
The curious children’s ‘big cat’, often defined in dictionaries as ‘large tawny flesh-eating cat’, in reality, the most dreaded of all animals but in appearance lovable and alluring, the greatest attraction of a zoo, this lion statue, like the real lion, inspires affection, not fear. If anyone gets immunity against death or has an assurance of friendship from a lion, he shall dream of standing by a lion’s side affectionately patting its mane and forehead. For centuries lion has been the most loved theme of almost all arts: sculpture, architecture, painting, or photography. Wildlife photographers spend months for a shot of a lion’s lifestyle: mating, caressing its female counterpart, charging at prey, drinking water, etc.
In the form of animal capitals, lions emerged in the art of sculpture during the Mauryan era itself. Emperor Ashoka’s lion capital, the emblem of independent India’s statehood authenticating the Government’s all decrees including her currency, is perhaps the earliest of the lion statues. An essential element of Indian architecture, lion statues have been beautifying as well as securing the gates of temples, forts, fortresses, Havelis, etc now for centuries. Miniatures portraying lion-theme: lion-hunting, illustrations to texts like Pancha-tantra, etc, begin pouring in from the sixteenth century itself. In Devi-themes: painting or sculptures, the lion has a wide presence. In Jain iconography, as the identity emblem of Tirthankara Mahavira, lion reliefs have been widely rendered. The lion figure comprises the zodiac sign of the constellation Leo. Lion has a presence also beyond the Indian subcontinent. It is the national emblem of Great Britain. Even the languages borrow their phraseological idiom from the lion’s attributes, such a Shera-dil – lion-hearted man, lionize.
Indian people have always seen the lion with great reverence and with as much curiosity giving birth to many timeless legends, something still continuing as curious tales, if not legends. The legend of Bharat, the founder of Bharat-varsha, has a curious lion context. After Aryan king Dushyanta, Bharat’s father, was reminded of Shakuntala whom he had earlier turned away, he wandered in her search from one place to other to find one day a hermitage child playing with cubs of a lion. He immediately concluded that the child should be his child; this led him to Shakuntala. A completely new dimension in the lion’s lifestyle, about a week ago, forest officers of Ran-Thambor in Rajasthan found a male loin bringing up a pair of cubs whose lioness mother had died, something that a male lion never does. Recently, while passing across a cage a family found itself in the clutches of a lion’s arms hugging it to its bosom from behind the bars of the cage, The frightened family members turned their faces to find that it was the lion that they had found as a newborn cub in a forest some years ago and had given to the zoo after bringing it up to the age of maturity. The delight and a sense of gratitude on the animal’s face towards the family were unprecedented.
