Description
Ca. 1st–2nd Century AD.
A marble panel featuring a relief scene of a male figure leading a subdued lion. The man is barefoot and nude from the waist up and turned 3/4 to the viewer, displaying a muscular physique. He rests his left hand on a majestic lion with a lowered tail and a gently raised head. Background elements include a semi-circular metal grate attached to a stone-brick wall, perhaps the cage for the lion which would suggest the frieze depicts the machinations of the Roman arena. The reverse side is flat an unworked, suggesting that this piece sat on a wall. Item comes with a professional historical report from Ancient Report Specialists.
