The figure is dynamically posed, holding a lion’s skin in one hand—a nod to ancient heroism—and lifting a chalice in the other. The chalice, though mostly intact, shows a small chip that adds a hint of history to the piece. The figure stands atop an ornate base crafted from gold brass and red marble. The red marble is beautifully accented with an intricate gold leaf design that encircles the base, providing an elegant and detailed foundation for the artwork. See less
