'famous lion tamer's head' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'at an angle' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'an' becomes 'a'.
'angle' becomes 'slant' (synonyms).
'a'+'slant' is 'ASLANT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aslant that I've seen before include "crooked" , "At an oblique angle" , "Skewed" , "Not true" , "Athwart" .)
