21″ Guardian Lion, Hand-Painted Concrete

Make a bold, timeless statement at your front door. This seated guardian lion symbolizes strength, courage and protection, and it adds a distinguished, architectural presence to an entryway, porch, gatepost or garden walk.

Unlike lightweight resin, it is cast from solid concrete with stone crush and weighs about 85 pounds. Every lion is hand-painted with vibrant oil paint and professionally spray-sealed to keep its finish outdoors for years.

Before you order

• No change-of-mind returns. Solid concrete is heavy and costly to ship back, so once a piece is delivered undamaged the sale is final. Damage, defects and mistakes are always covered, as above.
• Measure first. Check the size above against your spot. Not sure it will fit, or which finish to choose? Press Ask about this piece and we will help before you buy.
• Handmade means one of a kind. Each piece is cast and finished by hand, so small differences in color, texture and shape from the photos are normal — the mark of real handwork, not a fault.
