Odd lion coffee table
This unusual lion coffee table was auctioned on eBay a few months ago. It is paper mache and signed by the artist. D-Listed Decor compares it to a Jeff Koons sculpture, which I think is apt. Hand Painted Lion Coffee Table (Thanks, Tara McGinley!)

Because you don't have enough lion schlong in your life as it is...
The Furries are going yiffy for this.
Hehe, I concur themiddleroad. Can you say balls?
well, that's more lion penis than I needed to see this morning. :p
My grandmother has this table in her "Safari Room" in my grandparents house.
I will post a picture. My grandmother did not intend the lion to be ironic, and she indeed also has a 7 foot tall paper mache giraffe from the same artist.
Is there some reason it has human genitalia and its legs spread? This isn't an "odd" coffee table it is a creepy Furrie sexual fantasy sculpture somebody has crudely disguised as a coffee table.
Frisky.
#6: I'm pretty sure almost every male lion has a cock & balls too...
#7: Yeah, but I don't think they look like that. If the junk of male housecats are anything like their wild cousins, this isn't too accurate and is decidedly human.
That is the exact amount of lion penis I needed to see this morning.
Two would have been too much.
@8 - just what I was going to say. Animals don't have human genitalia. This is weird. For a more accurate idea of what a male lion's bits look like, go here: http://www.dkimages.com/discover/DKIMAGES/Discover/previews/804/20258030.JPG
The Lion Pub in San Francisco, back when it was a gay bar, had a logo of a lion having his way with a prostrate male human. So apparently some people have no objection to leonine bits.
@11 - The sculpture is a little more well-hung I'd say. I bet the lion who commissioned the work, paid the sculptor a little extra for the "enhancement."

No wonder they're so pissed off at the zebras.
Hmm, a decidedly gross addition to interior decor.
Seriously if you're going to stick a dick on your lion sculpture at least make it worthwhile. Give it a schlong the king of the jungle could be proud of and then the balls to match! No self respecting lion would lick that, he would just hang his head in shame.
@16 -- word. the king of the jungle deserves a bigger twig & berries.
Is this supposed "The Lion King" or "The Loin King"?
"Put 'em up! Put 'em up!"
Yeah, Bert Lahr would be proud.
My friend has the exact same table! She put boxers on it, to cover up the large phallus! He's a little more banged up than that one, but its the same one!
That is the ugliest goddamn thing I've ever seen!
Remember those matching frog paperweights? Turn 'em over, they had human boy/girl genitals. They weren't ugly though; they were kinda cute.
Is it any worse than Mr. T: The Centaur?

My parents bought this coffee table when I was in middle school and away at summer camp. They got it from a gallery in Key West - and ended their vacation early to bring it home!!! My mother couldn't decide between the lion or the giraffe coat rack. It used to mortify me growing up and when my friends would come over. Now I can't wait to inherit it!
My mother, who is a former English teacher, and my father, who's a real character, have a brass paperweight given to them by some friends many years ago. It is a realistic-looking frog or toad, until you turn it over, and see the tiny "meat and two veg" underneath, very human-looking, like the ones on the lion.
I think I was about eight when they got it and I asked about it. It's a horny toad. I didn't get the joke until I was much older.
