Statuette of a Lion

Cleveland Museum of Art

Beige-colored stone sculpture of a recumbent lion. The lion's body is positioned on a rectangular base. The sculpture depicts the lion lying down, with its head raised and looking to the right. The lion's mouth is open, and its ears are visible on top of its head. The front right paw is extended forward, while the left paw is tucked underneath the body. The tail extends along the left side of the base. The base is rectangular with a flat top and appears to be made of the same material as the lion. The background is a solid dark gray color.
