The Angry Lion Face Ring is a band in 925 sterling silver carved with the face of a lion caught mid-snarl, the jaws open and the brow drawn down over the eyes. The mane spreads back from the face and runs onto both sides of the band, cut as separate strands rather than as one solid mass. The anger is the whole subject here: most lion rings show the animal calm and regal; this one holds it in the moment before it moves, teeth showing. The lion stands for courage, authority and force held ready rather than at rest, worn as a symbol rather than as a religious piece.
