A small sculpted artifact in the form of a reclining lion.
The artifact is a carved depiction of a lion in a reclining posture, crafted with simplistic detailing. It appears to be made from a single piece of material, likely stone, and shows modest craftsmanship typical of decorative objects rather than high relief sculptures. The base is rectangular, supporting the lion figure, which emphasizes the curve of its back and its relaxed pose.
