A roaring lion’s head, heavily maned and with tongue hanging out, is atop a great curving chest which in turn grows from a lion’s foot. Behind the chest, on each side, is a flat inward-curving spiral and a rough, unfinished blank area. At the back is a roughly carved vertical support, with multiple claw chisel marks and anathyrosis. This area would have been attached to the table above.

The drilling in the mane is deep; bridges were left periodically, making a broken pattern; and the drill was also used for separating the front claws. The technique suggests a date under the Antonines or Severans.

Large-grained grayish marble.

Slight damage to lower mouth; otherwise complete, except for break at top of back support.
