Of square section forming a pedestal for a reclining lion and its cub,their details intricately and precisely carved,the muscular body of the larger beast curled up resting on its haunches and propped by its forepaws with sharp talons,its face framed by pointed ears lying flat against the wavy curls of the beast's thick mane,the raised spine and tail delicately picked out with scrolling locks,the cub clambering playfully on the larger beast's bushy tail,the stone of an intense deep orange tone.
