The lion on the roof of this model symbolizes the god to whom the model was dedicated. It appears to be subduing its enemies, and thus likely represents a war deity. Digital presentation of this object was made possible by: The Ridgefield Foundation, New York, in memory of Henry J. and Erna D. Leir |
