There is no seam to open up and nothing to lose down the back of a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo animals, one piece.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast together, so there is no glued join to fail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix inches long.\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.75 tall, which is compact for a two figure composition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact points sculpted.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cub leans in rather than standing alongside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoat painted in tones.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tawny graded darker along the back and lighter underneath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Casting, Two Animals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair made as separate pieces has to be glued, and glue is what fails first on a toy that gets carried around. \u003cstrong\u003eMolding both animals as one object removes that failure entirely and is why this piece will still be intact when a two part group has long since parted company\u003c\/strong\u003e. The trade is that the pose is fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Pose Is the Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it cannot be rearranged, the composition has to be worth keeping, and this one puts the cub against the mother's flank in the posture that actually reads as protection. Bought for a shelf, that is the whole point. Bought for open ended play, a child may prefer figures that can be moved apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLionesses Do the Hunting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe females of a pride do most of the hunting and nearly all of the cub rearing, and they hunt cooperatively in a way male lions generally do not. A figure of a lioness with young is therefore closer to the working life of a pride than a maned male on his own ever is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions About the Lioness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the cub removable?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Both animals are one casting, which is what makes the piece durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions?\u003c\/strong\u003e Six inches long and 2.75 inches tall overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for play?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, from three years, and the single piece build stands up to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should it be cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e A dry brush around the contact points, where dust gathers first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the cub removable?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. Both animals are one casting, which is what makes the piece durable.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the dimensions?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Six inches long and 2.75 inches tall overall.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it suitable for play?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, from three years, and the single piece build stands up to it.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should it be cleaned?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A dry brush around the contact points, where dust gathers first.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Safari Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52271829778733,"sku":"225229","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/safari-ltd-lioness-with-cub-figurine-1.jpg?v=1787908238","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/lioness-with-cub-figurine","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
