About this 3D model

This lion formed the support for a column the base of which was carved integrally. The weathering of the lion, which is most severe around the head suggests that it was used externally to flank a door or window. The relatively small size of the lion means it is comparable to examples beside the windows in the apses of the cathedrals of Bitonto and Troia and on the façade of the Cathedral at Termoli.
