Couchant lion

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.此石狮为一根立柱提供支撑，该立柱的基座为一体雕刻而成。其头部周边的风化程度最为严重，表明它曾被安置于室外，用作门或窗两侧的装饰构件。该石狮尺寸相对较小，可与比通托（Bitonto）大教堂、特罗亚（Troia）大教堂半圆形后殿窗旁的同类作品，以及特尔莫利（Termoli）大教堂立面的相关石雕相媲美。
