Some sections, shown by dotted lines, are recreated and not part of the surviving object. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Ivory lion holding a calf; before 600 B.C. Several such figures were found: compare the man stabbing the lioness (160b) and the couchant animals (160f); but these figures are much larger and of rather later date." |
