Crouching Lion – British Museum, Bloomsbury, London, England
This marble figure represents a lion with its mouth open, crouching for a spring. It was placed at the foot of the Monument as a guardian of the tomb. There were perhaps originally four, one at each corner. The style of the sculpture appears earlier than that of the Monument itself. They may be reused from some previous tomb decoration, or is perhaps contemporary with the Nereid Monument, but deliberately archaizing.
