Lioness Figure by Daniel Greatbatch. Dark brown and gold-colored sculpture of a crouching lioness. The sculpture is shiny and reflective. The lioness is crouching on all fours, with its right front paw curled under and resting on a small circular object. Its left front leg is extended forward. The lioness's mane is thick and textured, with a prominent tuft at the end of its tail. The background is a plain gray color, with a subtle shadow underneath the sculpture. The lioness's head is turned to the left, with its mouth closed and its eyes looking forward.
