Design
The central lion figure in this brooch exudes a sense of dominance and command. Its mane is intricately detailed, flowing outward like rays of authority, while the wings flank the lion’s head, suggesting both freedom and vigilance. The crown perched atop the lion’s head underscores its role as a leader and protector. Surrounding the main elements are swirling, organic patterns, reminiscent of classical baroque and neoclassical design, symbolizing balance and elegance. This piece blends regal symbols of power with the protective grace of wings, embodying both strength and sophistication.
Inspiration
This brooch takes inspiration from ancient royal symbolism, particularly from cultures where the lion represents power, nobility, and protection. Throughout history, lions have been revered in various civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, and the Roman Empire as a symbol of courage, guardianship, and authority. The crown references ancient monarchs, while the wings evoke the image of divine protection seen in mythological creatures like griffins and winged lions in both European and Middle Eastern art. The combination of these historical symbols connects this design to a heritage of leadership and strength.
