In todays Lion costume design has even reach a more creative style. Mixing and matching colour to the lion is really in demand these days. Though the traditional lines and drawing or the pattern on the lion head must not change, but creative artist had improvise the pattern by matching colour. Early days lion costumes has a tradition that nose must be green colour and horn can only be in black colour because there is a saying that lion has green nose, iron horn. But today the colour of horn and nose has improvise by changing its colour to look beautiful. Besides the head, the body cloth also has verity in colour. It really makes modern lion costume finishes in a complete colour theme. Eg : “The Silver Purple Lion”, by looking at it, it really looks like it had design in that theme of colour. With is drawing is majorith is in purple colour, pompom balls are in purple colour and its body has silver colour scale under a piece of purple cloth. It has many many more like the Silver Blue colour, Gold Purple Colour and many more design by Malaysian’s lion costumes creative artist.
Today’s Malaysian manufactured lion heads is world well accepted in quality, design and style. Even Manufacturer from China Photocopy the exact design, look and style exactly like the Malaysians made costume but quality wise it is much poorer and not as durable ad Malaysian made lions. Just a little tips from me, the write, if you would like to buy a Malaysian made lion, beware of fake goods especially those advertise on internet saying that it is a Malaysian design head. Get the real one from Malaysia only. In the main page, there is a link to WSH Dragon and Lion Arts. You can check it out there.
