Notes
A carved ocher-colored stone lion sitting on all four legs. The large, round head is disproportionate in relation to the body. The face shows spherical eyes surmounted by thick eyebrows; The snout is broad, the mouth is open, and it has fangs extending along the cheeks. This lion's mane is spread on its back in the form of leaves that are slightly overlaid on top of each other, forming a shape resembling a pine cone. The tail extends on its right side, and its legs appear slender. The whole piece is very simplified, and bears witness to a somewhat clumsy execution. This lion formed a watering hole from which water flowed.
