This is a low-angle, outdoor, medium shot of a monumental stone sculpture against a clear blue sky. The sculpture is carved from light-colored stone and features several figures. In the foreground, a muscular, bearded male figure reclines with his left arm resting on a roaring lion's head, also carved in stone. The male figure's right arm is raised, with his hand resting on his forehead. His legs are extended, and his feet are visible. Behind this figure, on a higher level of the monument, are two more figures, appearing to be in dynamic motion. The upper part of the monument is topped with a decorative cornice, and a bird is perched on the head of one of the upper figures. Another bird is seen in flight in the background. The stone of the monument appears weathered, and some dried vegetation is visible at the base. The sun casts shadows on the sculpture. The overall impression is one of power and drama.
