He wrinkles his snout, and his teeth are bared in a gentle snarl. His mane is expressed in series of flamelike tufts, each distinct row carved in an alternate direction, and a ridge of fur or hair starts down the center of the back, for a relatively short distance. The legs and tail have been recomposed and restored from fragments, with the missing areas executed in colored plaster. The forelegs and feet are nearly complete, and they join on the plinth to give the animal a correct angle as now mounted. The marble has acquired a handsome golden patina.http://collections.mfa.org/objects/151079/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/917631/resize%3Aformat%3DfullKanamono in the form of a leopard, with backplatemid to late 19th century (before 1889)Main material: gold; other metals: shakudo; shibuichi backplate; decorative technique: takabori, zoganhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/10115/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/768223/resize%3Aformat%3DfullLeopard in its LairAntoine Louis BaryeWatercolor on paperhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/343653/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/1199410/resize%3Aformat%3DfullLion and Lioness1771George StubbsOil on canvashttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/33360/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/881631/resize%3Aformat%3DfullLion and Mouse1871William RimmerGraphite pencil on pink paperhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/198770/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/829659/resize%3Aformat%3DfullA Lion Coming out of a Cave1792J.

While the detailed musculature and anatomy of the lion are rendered rather realistically, the hair is stylized, framing the face with flame-like locks. Along the back of the lion’s head and its haunches, the hair is rendered in braided rows. The lion is seated on a plinth that would have once been placed atop a tall support, marking a grave. In its original state, the lion would also have been brightly painted, making it an effective and eye-catching monument. Positioned above ground level, the ferocious animal could both guard the deceased and, if commemorating a fallen soldier, evoke a memory of his strength and power.http://collections.mfa.org/objects/151017/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/794150/resize%3Aformat%3DfullStriding lion604–561 B.C.Glazed bricksOpen-mouthed lion, teeth bared, striding left.
