Description
Recumbent lion (colored reconstruction), Nye Carlsberg Glyptotek (Copenhagen, Denmark). Made with Memento Beta (now Remake) from AutoDesk. Reconstruction colored from original (https://skfb.ly/VRqQ).
The point of departure for the reconstruction is the discovery of traces of colour on the two original lion statues: red colour on the tongue and lips as well as microscopic traces of blue azurite on the mane and yellowish-brown ochre on the hide. The other colours must remain a hypothesis, but are to be found on other Archaic lions. The pigments used correspond to those on the original figures.

Great, Greek statues with actual color change my image of Greek.
Thanks! Actually most of the Greek and Roman sculptures were painted.
Where was this lion sculpture found, prior to its acquisition?
