## Why Kings Chose Lions

Lion imagery runs from Sumer, about 3000 BC, to the Assyrian Empire, about 700 BC. The lion stood for wild chaos that a king must master.

Assyrian kings hunted lions and boasted of it. The reliefs of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh, about 645 to 635 BC, show the staged hunts.

## A Mane That Frames the Face

Only male lions carry the great mane. Artists used it to make a ruler's portrait. King of beasts cufflinks borrow that grandeur.

## Medieval Lions

Lions kept their rank in medieval art. Henry I of England kept lions at Woodstock. A lion-shaped aquamanile of about 1400 survives in Germany.

## Wearing and Display

Wear the lion head cufflinks with French cuffs in white or pale blue. Wipe with a soft cloth.

Antique gold cufflinks stay warm against dark suits. See more in our [Museum Jewelry Cufflinks and Tie Tacks](https://www.museumize.com/collections/museum-jewelry-cufflinks-tietacks).
