AN EAST GREEK BRONZE LION PROTOME
ARCHAIC PERIOD, CIRCA MID 6TH CENTURY B.C.
The gaping mouth with large fangs and incised teeth, the tongue lolling, the blunt muzzle with grooved fanning whiskers, the convex eyes with defined lids, the face off set from the mane by an undulating ridge across the top of the head, with incised details, including a ring of double arches framing the face, similar arches on the bridge of the nose, hatching on the ridge, the mane a series of elaborate flame-like locks, the raised drop-shaped ears flat on the cylindrical shaft, their recessed interiors contoured, the back edge of the shaft with raised moldings and two perforations for attachment, perhaps to a chariot draft pole
6 1/8 in. (15.5 cm.) long

For similar treatment of the lion's facial details see no. 22 in Kozloff, ed., Animals in Ancient Art from the Leo Mildenberg Collection. For another example that served as a fountain spout, with its shaft surmounted by a seated frog, from the Heraion of Samos, see no. 59 in Rolley, Greek Bronzes.
