| Merike sculpting the lion maquette |

| First the lion leg has to be sculpted. Here Merike is working on the clay original maquette of the lion leg. She was interested in capturing the essence of certain ancient Egyptian motifs but this is not a precise copy but rather an original form "inspired by" the Egyptian motifs. To the right can be seen two copies of another of her sculptures (an interpretation of the Ancient Goddess). |
