A Lion but no Witch or Wardrobe

This enormous lion statue reminds me of the Narnia lion. It is in Ifrane, a resort type of hill town in Morocco. The architecture is all chalet style which gives the reason for this towns other name , Little Switzerland. Various stories abound about this lion but it possibly was carved by an Italian prisoner of war as there was an internment camp here during WW2. Others say the statue is much older than this. So this lovely Leo holds some secrets just like Aslan.
