Bulunduğu Yeri
Sardis, 1913. Part of Nannas monument, Artemis Precinct. The piece was probably not reused by Nannas in the 4th C. B.C. but only in the Roman restoration of the precinct. Cf. Cat. 274 (Figs. 465-466); Sardis R1, 62, 64, 68.
Tanım
The lion is seated in a frontal position. The tail loops under the hindquarters and over the left haunch. The mane has long wavy locks ending slightly down the back, less deeply cut than Synagogue lions (Cat. 25A, Cat. 25B Figs. 92-101). The style is archaic. Richter (Catalogue of Greek Sculptures, 7) suggests a date of ca. 500 B.C. or a little earlier on the basis of style of modeling and the stylization of the mane.
Condition

Marble.

Missing almost all of forelegs, parts of hind legs, left side of head, most of plinth. Surface chipped and battered, covered with hard incrustation.
