This pattern is horizontally symmetrical. The problem with symmetrical patterns is that any mistakes or inconsistencies are easy to spot.
The viewer’s eyes are drawn to the lion’s eyes, so take particular care when cutting them.
To me the lion looks curious and somewhat aloof. I can see why they are considered to be the kings of the jungle. The edges of the pattern are curvy and graceful.
A lion’s mane can range in color from blond to dark brown. Male lions weighing between 330 to 550 pounds (150 to 250 kilograms) and measure approximately 4.5 to 6.5 feet (1.4 to 2 meters) in length. The lion’s powerful jaws allow help them to bring down large prey like zebras, wildebeest, and buffalo. For a large animal they can move surprisingly quickly.
