Lion of Judah

12 ft long × 3 ft wide × 6 ft high. Reclaimed steel nuts and copper. 400 lb. Available.

“Lion of Judah” is a full-scale metal sculpture of a male African lion, meticulously assembled from thousands of reclaimed steel nuts and copper. Negative space gives the body movement and depth, while the composition embodies strength, resilience, courage, and renewal.


Recycled steel nuts form the lion’s muscular structure and full proportions, while warm copper creates the mane. The labor-intensive welding process transforms discarded materials into an enduring work with both structural and visual presence.


Negative space defines the lion’s powerful form, creating a changing relationship between solidity and emptiness as the sculpture is viewed from different angles.


Months of precise assembly brought the work to life, blending ancient symbolism with contemporary craftsmanship. The process has been shared through behind-the-scenes studio footage, and the finished sculpture was featured on Fox & Friends.


Available for purchase for the first time, “Lion of Judah” demonstrates the transformative power of art through redemption, courage, and renewal.
