Supporting Lion (pair)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two reddish-brown stone statues of lions, titled "Supporting Lion (pair)" by an unknown artist, each with a rectangular base and a square top, feature a lion sitting on its haunches. The lions have their bodies facing forward and their heads turned to the side, with their mouths closed and their ears not visible. Their fur is carved in long, curly locks. The statues are made of a speckled reddish-brown stone. The lions' front legs are straight and their paws are flat on the ground. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
