This iconic winged lion memorial, a symbol of courage and freedom, serves as a tribute to the 2,500 Czechoslovak airmen who served in the Royal Air Force during World War II. Utilizing high-quality bronze, traditional lost-wax casting techniques, and mirror-image molding technology, our foundry has cast two symmetrical replicas of the bronze lion statue; these sculptures perfectly reproduce the exquisite details of the original monument located in Klárov, Prague.

Winged Lion Replicas:
This exquisite pair of mirrored winged lion replicas, crafted from bronze, showcases extraordinary craftsmanship and artistic allure. The two winged lions are designed in perfect symmetry; their postures mirror one another—the stance on the left echoing that on the right—demonstrating a flawless balance of majesty and power.
Each winged lion is rendered with lifelike realism, holding its head high and spreading its massive wings with a fierce, commanding presence—as if poised to take flight at any moment. The sculptural details are executed with exceptional precision; from the lion’s flowing mane and muscular contours to the intricate texture of the feathers on its wings, every element is brought to life with consummate skill.
This is a scaled-down version of the bronze winged-lion monument sculpture that we cast for our client.
Proportional Clay Models:
During the production process, we create proportional clay models for our clients. This clay modeling phase allows clients to offer suggestions for specific modifications to the sculpture’s details. Our artists work in close collaboration with the client to incorporate these revisions—ensuring that every minute detail of the final sculpture meets their expectations, while simultaneously upholding the artistic integrity and aesthetic fidelity of the original work.
These are the clay models for the two lion sculptures.
