Description

Serpentine

amygdaloid: the back is smoothed by the edges of the stone in a form of faceting. Surface extensively fractured. The original motif appears to be that of a recumbent lion. The form behind the animal may represent a tree or the tail of a feathered dart or arrow. In the latter case the animal would be represented as wounded. There would have been a ground line.
