[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 8743305, member: 16283"]He's a cutie-they still of course make them (Saint Mark). His face is a bit humanized,and even though he's prob 20's-80's,He's still got that slightly human face they put on critters in the Dark & Medieval ages cause they'd never seen an actual lion.Some older ones look like the 'Wiz of Oz' lion-weirdly very human. Egyptians had seen real Lions (Africa obviously) and a lot of theirs look real enough to bite. He's one of my fave ecclesiastical 'logos' so to speak. Of course the Catholic Church has always had some of the best & most inventive creative teams (design firms aka 'Madmen') in history. [ATTACH=full]429073[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
