lion skin
Big cat covering
The hide or pelt of a lion, whether still on the animal or removed.
Lion skins appear in mythology and classical art as symbols of strength and conquest—Hercules wore one after slaying the Nemean lion.
Today they're rare outside museums and illegal wildlife trade: Customs seized a lion skin worth thousands on the black market.
