This type of sculpture is so differently interpreted by people, so interesting! I think for a lion, it kinda looks afraid or tamed.
Thanks for sharing in Tuesdays of Texture! Have a great weekend!

It’s Venice’s old shipyard. Dates back to 13th century. A great program in BBC re enemy showed the incredible size of this place. They made a lot of ships! I’ll write more on it soon. And I’ll add a link to the program if I can.

He’s definitely supposed to be a lion – he is one of 4, all different in appearance

Yes, I see what you mean. It is ancient Greek, but perhaps they had their own version of Pink Panther!

Looks a bit like a cross between a monkey (top) and the Pink Panther (bottom.) 🙂
