Description

Ivory fragment with part of lion and singed beast.

Muscarella Publication: "Preserved at the left is part of an upright lion with one paw extended to touch a winged creature facing it. The creature's decorated chest, hatched wing, upper leg, and lower part of a hair curl are preserved. It may be standing on two legs, which, if true, means that the creature is a siren, rather than a sphinx. The reverse has rocker scoring."
