lion sculpture
Carved feline figure
A lion sculpture is a three-dimensional representation of a lion, typically carved from stone, cast in bronze, or molded from other materials.
Lion sculptures appear frequently as architectural guardians flanking entrances to buildings, bridges, and monuments: The library's marble lion sculptures have become neighborhood landmarks.
They range from ancient Egyptian sphinxes to Chinese guardian lions to the bronze lions outside the New York Public Library.
