- The front of the plinth is flat. The surface is covered with claw chisel marks. The leg and paw appear to be lying flat on the surface of the plinth and are, therefore, from a reclining lion. The workmanship is all flat chisel on the claws and base. Very careful large multiple claw chisel strokes were used on the top of the paw. The forms are strong and angular. The base slants on the inside from a H. of nearly 0.20 where the leg is broken, to ca. 0.11 at the front. According to A. R. Seager, who noted the resemblance, the plinth is too tall for Cat. 31 (Figs. 119-122) but might come from a counterpart.
- Condition
White marble, weathered gray with reddish discoloration. Whitmore: compares with Sardis MD quarry group B.
Leg and paw on part of a plinth preserved. Only two claws remain on paw and beginning of a third. Plinth is broken at sides and back.
