Lions at Biltmore

112 pictures in 2012: #49, statue or sculpture. At the entrance to the great house, these lions pose with many tourists. I like their worried expressions (more pictures of them to come, taken in 2011). Allegedly "carved of Rosso di Verona marble that is from near San Ambrogio Valpolicello in Italy, these lions are believed to date to the late nineteenth century and were not put in place until late 1899 or early 1900."
