Weavers' Lion

Paisley

The Weavers' Lion sculpture is a significant piece of public art in Paisley, celebrating the town's rich weaving heritage. The sculpture was created by artist Kevin Stewart Cantwell and was originally located on High Street before being moved to the Sma' Shot Cottages in May 2017.

The lion symbolizes the strength and resilience of Paisley's weavers, who were known for their exceptional skills and craftsmanship. The relocation of the sculpture to the Sma' Shot Cottages was part of an effort to highlight the historical importance of weaving in Paisley and to create a more immersive experience for visitors to the site.

I love the interesting and colourful motifs on the body of the lion. Some close-up shots of those could be added as PiPs.
