E 1

Not figured.

Male, standing, much damaged. The human figure supported on his head

the head of a massive animal of the feline genus, by its form most

reminding one of the _African_ or _Persian_ lion(!). The statue was

thrown down and broken in several pieces; only the head of the animal

was so far preserved as to enable one to discern something of the

original sculpture. Upon this head was part of a square tenon. The

length of the statue from the upper edge of the forehead to the thighs

was 84 cm., the breadth across the shoulders 39 cm., the length of the

face 24 cm. The head of the animal was 54 cm. high and 52 cm broad.
