So, I enjoyed the Gun engraved elephant so much, I decided to morph the King of the jungle with a fish, then apply scroll engraving, because obviously everything is better with scroll engraving!

The plate is 4"x6" half-hard brass. As always, I welcome and look forward to your comments.

It's the eyes throwing me off, and the muzzle.

Big-un... Here's a Lion Face... I thought I came pretty close on the eyes and muzzle, maybe it's too abstract for the audience... LOOK... Scroll engraving on the side!
