Eight Stone Lions, Stone sculptures in Lake Park, Milwaukee, United States
The Eight Stone Lions consist of eight limestone sculptures placed at both ends of two bridges within Lake Park along Lake Michigan.
Henry Clay Payne donated these sculptures to Milwaukee in 1897, with Paul Kupper designing the plaster casts and Otto Lachmund executing the stonework.
The stone lions represent the late 19th-century movement to enhance public spaces with decorative elements throughout Milwaukee's park system.
Each lion measures approximately 36 by 30 by 65 inches, positioned on bases of 54 by 36 by 70 inches at the bridge entrances.
The lions bear the signature and date of sculptor Paul Kupper, who later created a 1,200-pound badger for the State Capitol in Madison.
