Sardis?
Bulunduğu Yeri
"Salihli." As Salihli has no Lydian antiquities of its own, this provenance usually indicates Sardis or vicinity.
Tanım
The outline of the lion's foreleg is linear as is the rendering of the hair, with incised laurel-leaf-shaped locks for the chest mane. The tail goes under and around the l. haunch, as in Cat. 31 (Fig. 119). There is a fold of flesh at the hock of the r. hind leg. Because of the rather fluid curves in outlining the lower body and the greater sense of flesh in the forelegs, the piece is more developed than the altar lions (Cat. 27, Cat. 28, Cat. 29, Figs. 105-117). It is Lydo-Ionian, possibly from the same Sardian workshop as the altar lions. Gabelmann dates it to 540 B.C. by comparison with Corinthian lions.
Condition

Gray marble.

Head lost; forelegs broken off; much worn and washed out.
