Engaged Capital with a Lion and a Basilisk
The sculpture depicts a corner of a stone block carved with two creatures. A lion and a basilisk are carved on the front. The lion on the left has its mouth open and lies on its side. The basilisk on the right has a beak and wings and appears to be on top of the lion. The stone is off-white and has a rough texture. The background behind the sculpture is black, and the surface it's sitting on appears to be a gray floor. The block of stone appears to have broken off from a larger object. The word "BASILISC" is carved into the stone at the top.
