Mask of a Lion
The "Mask of a Lion" by an unknown artist depicts a stone mask carved into a lion-like face. The mask is circular with a wavy edge. The face features a nose and mouth at the bottom center. Two circular eyes are positioned on either side of the top, with curled patterns around and above them. The mouth is open, revealing a tongue or teeth at the bottom. The outer edge has curved sections with etched designs. The entire mask appears to be made of stone, with a gray color and visible texture. The background behind the mask is plain white. A shadow is cast to the right of the mask.
