Description
Français : Moulage de la statue d'un lion gardien.

Plâtre peint, d'après un original en basalte. Kahramanmaraş (Turquie). Vers 800 avant J.-C. Londres, British Museum, C.31. Exposée au Musée du Louvre en 2019 pour l'exposition "Royaumes oubliés, de l'empire hittite aux Araméens".

Légende dans l'exposition "Royaumes oubliés" : "L'oeuvre formait une paire avec un autre lion gardien de style identique mais sans inscription. Ils devaient orner l'entrée d'un palais ou d'un temple. Il est par conséquent sculpté pour être vu de face et de profil, car il devait être dans un angle de passage. Toute la surface du corps, à l'exception de la tête, est recouverte d'une inscription en hiéroglyphes louvites. Un espace a été ménagé dans la crinière du lion pour figurer le roi. Cette inscription est particulièrement importante pour la connaissance de l'histoire du royaume de Gurgum, car le roi Halparuntiya III y présente sa généalogie sur six générations avant lui."
