Resembling a lion, this fierce beast, with head raised, teeth bared, nostrils flaring, sharp eyes, bear-like ears and large rounded horn, sits on its clawed paws ready to pounce, its front paws pierced with a fine aperture. Its haunches defined by incised lines, its tail curls down in hindquarters.
Length: 5.3cm
Style of: Possibly Six dynasties (3rd – 4th century), age determination uncertain
