Our service

1. Understand the product

First we sat down with the Museum Ulm and talked about the different requirements of the replica, and created a briefing.

2. Find the manufacturer

With the help of our data-based search engine, we searched for manufacturers specialized in the production of high-quality figures.

3. Arrange the production.

During the entire process we are in constant contact with the manufacturer and are the contact person for problems and questions for customer and manufacturer.

The Lion Man from Ulm

The Origin of Art

The Lion Man was discovered inside the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave in the Lone valley near Ulm. Carved from the tusk of a mammoth 40,000 years ago, the ivory figurine combines features of a cave lion with human attributes. This makes the Lion Man one of the oldest and largest sculptures of Ice Age art and the earliest image of a mythical creature in the world.

Challenges

100% handcrafted

Each figure is unique, was hand cast and painted. This leads to slightly different results and a precise briefing of the manufacturer.

Quality management

Due to the manual work a very precise observation and monitoring of the production is necessary to achieve a perfect result for the customer. 

Separated shipping

To enable the customer to start selling the figures in time, we organised the shipment of the first batch separately.
