Features

The object Reclining Lion is a recreation of a Ptolemaic- or Roman-period Egyptian sculpture of a reclining lion (332 B.C.â€“A.D. 364) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Originally carved from limestone, the lion seems at rest yet alert with its large, placid head facing the viewer. It is known that pairs of lions such as this one might have flanked the entrances to ancient temples. Lions were associated with royalty and suggested powerful protective forces over temples and gods. This reinterpretation has been exquisitely hand-carved in white marble, affording each piece a unique color and natural veins. The sculpture rests on a white marble plinth.
Indoor use/dry locations only.
