| Scope and Content | An ink illustration of a lioness lying down, biting onto a calf's neck. This is the same item as 1936/01/05/20/01, shown from the side so the human figure is not visible. Both the visible corners are missing and have been reconstructed with dotted lines. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Lioness devouring a calf and stabbed by a man: this is unique; with a few other larger animals, it belongs to 650-600 B.C." |
| Notes | In the Exhibition Catalogue this is under the subheading "Carvings in ivory and bone" |
