People in the past made things with great care. There was no mass consumption, nothing was thrown out and replaced because it went out of fashion, so utensils had to be good and easy to use. Items made for ceremonial use had to be made with respect for the purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lions could be inspired by Egyptian lions, albeit in a rather crude way, just like the other design and script elements are a bit &#039;rough around the edges&#039;.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Egyptian lion:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/metropolitan/images/Metropolitan%20NY%20Nov-2005%200040%201.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/metropolitan/pages/Dynasty%204,%20life%20sized%20Lion.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/metropolitan/pages/Dynasty%204,%20life%20sized%20Lion.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/metropolitan/pages/Dynasty 4, life sized Lion.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
