West Midlands Safari Park

May the Font of Badness Never Run Dry

There are some real treasure troves of bad lions out there: taxidermy is the gift that keeps on giving. Walk into any statuary section of a museum, and you're sure to find a few.

But I've just stumbled onto a WHOLE NEW ART FORM of badness.

Behold! The tapestry:
Packwood House, Lapworth

Now, if you just squint, tilt your head to one side, and take some acid, you'll see that this is a clear depiction of a lion fighting a griffin.


IT COULDN'T BE MORE OBVIOUS.
