Nemean Lion Head Brass Decoration for Armor & Leathercraft

A Regal Lion Head Inspired by Greek Mythology

This Nemean Lion Head Brass Decoration brings the powerful imagery of ancient Greek mythology to your armor, leatherwork and accessories. The raised lion face, detailed mane and facial features give a substantial, regal appearance that immediately stands out when mounted on leather or armor.

The Story of the Nemean Lion

In Greek mythology, the Nemean Lion was a fearsome creature that lived near Nemea and was known for its hide, which could not be pierced by ordinary weapons. Defeating the lion became the first of the famous Twelve Labours of Heracles.

Unable to overcome the beast with conventional weapons, Heracles ultimately defeated it using his immense strength. He later wore the lion’s hide as a protective covering, making the Nemean Lion one of the most recognizable symbols.

Solid Brass Construction

The Lion Brass Mount is crafted from solid brass, giving it a substantial feel and a strong visual presence. The raised mane, eyes, nose and facial features create depth across the surface, helping the lion head remain clearly visible.

Solid brass also offers an important practical advantage, it does not rust.

Instead, brass can naturally develop a patina with time, use and exposure to the moisture.

Use this Lion Brass Decoration to add a distinctive centerpiece to Greek-inspired armor or handcrafted leather accessories.

Rear Tang for Secure Attachment

A tang on the back allows the fitting to be attached directly to leather or armor components.

Installation

1. Position the Fitting
Place the lion head in the desired position and carefully mark where the rear tang will pass through the material.

2. Prepare the Opening
Create an appropriately sized opening in the leather or other suitable material.

3. Insert the Tang
Pass the rear tang through the prepared opening while keeping the lion head positioned firmly against the front surface.

4. Secure from the Back
Carefully bend or spread the tang against the back side of the material to hold the Nemean Lion Head Brass Decoration in position.
