Standing Lion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture titled "Standing Lion" by an unknown artist depicts a standing lion made of reddish-brown stone with a speckled texture. The lion is positioned on a rectangular base, facing right. It has a thick mane that is detailed with carved lines. The front right leg and paw are visible while the back right leg is cut off at the top. The lion's ears are small and rounded. The background is a light grey wall with a visible seam down the center and a textured beige floor.
