lion head

King's feral visage

Lion head refers to several things united by resemblance to a male lion's distinctive maned head.

A lion head is a breed of rabbit with a fluffy mane of fur around its face, or a similarly maned variety of goldfish.

In architecture and design, lion head motifs appear as decorative elements—door knockers, fountain spouts, furniture details.

Lion's head is also a Chinese meatball dish, named for its round, shaggy appearance when surrounded by cabbage leaves.
