This horizontal rectangular Italian stone piece depicts a winged lion in relief. The edges of the piece are rough, with the top right corner and the bottom left corner being cut off. The lion fills the entire piece. The lion faces to our left and is largely seen in profile, with the exception of its head which is in three-quarters view looking out and slightly down. Its mane flows over its head and is tucked in above its shoulder. A hollow rimmed circle represents its left ear. The lion rests on its haunches with its left front paw resting on a carved book. The lion’s left wing engulfs the front part of its body, spreading out over the top of its left front leg, its shoulder, and back. The other wing is visible from the front of its chest across the background to our left. The back of the lion’s haunches appear to be covered by the folds of some drapery.
