- Tanım
- A lion’s leg and paw, sweeping forward at the top into a great bulge, rests on a plinth, and is capped at the top by a flat surface to support a throne or couch. The plinth has a hole in the underside. The claws are powerfully carved, with deep grooves and drill holes. The sides of the leg are in flat relief, with only outlined details. Rounded bands decorate the upper part of the leg. The summary workmanship suggests a date in the 2nd or 3rd C. A.D.
- Condition
Poorly crystallized marble, perhaps damaged in a fire.
Broken at upper back r. side and at lower l. of foot.
