Hercules and the Lion of Nemea
I made the mythological hero Hercules in his first labour strangling the lion of Nemea. According to the myth the lion devoured humans and animals and the king Eurystheus asked Hercules to kill it. With his first hit Hercules only managed booming the ears of a lion, and the bat broke. After he struggled the lion with his own hands. In sculpture the body of Hercules and the base is a single oak trunk and the lion is made of many pieces together. The colors of the sculpture match with the natural colors of the woods.
