Figure of a recumbent lion. The ears are round, the eyes are barely visible and separated by a high nasal bridge, the muzzle protrudes downwards, and the nose and mouth are barely visible. The tail is curled around the right thigh. The figure rests on a rectangular base. The remnant of a round, broken tenon is visible under the base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 2 cm x 3.8 cm x 4.4 cm. Museum location: Not on display.
