Ancient Roman Bronze crouching lion, 25 x 15,5 cm - EXHIBITED at Ifergan Museum (2018-2020) - Figure
The lion is crouched with the hind legs bent under the body and the front legs stretched forward. The head is raised and the tail is twisted under the body and raised around the right hind hip. The lion's head has large eyes and open jaws, exposing the opening of a tube in the mouth, indicating that it possibly belonged to some kind of source. The mane covers the front of the elongated body. The features of the head and mane are incised. This large bronze lion is modelled in a majestic pose, with a strong facial expression. It is modelled in the Late Roman style, with large eyes and schematic detailing of the mane and paws.
