A light-colored marble statue of a Leontocephaline Mithra, or Aion, is centrally positioned within a recessed architectural niche in the Gregorian Profane Museum or Chiaramonti Museum, Vatican Museums, Città del Vaticano, Vatican City. The statue depicts a robust male figure with a snarling lion's head, baring fangs, and a prominent mane. What appear to be wings or stylized shoulder pads extend from its upper back. The figure's right hand grasps an upright torch or staff, while its left hand holds a key. From the mid-torso downwards, a large serpent with defined scales is tightly coiled around the figure's body, terminating at its feet. The statue rests on a rectangular plinth, which features a multi-line Latin inscription carved into its front surface. The niche itself has a dark grey marble back panel with subtle vertical lighter grey veins, framed by an inner border of light brown and golden-hued marble with darker veining. This niche is integrated into a grander wall structure. Flanking the niche are decorative pilasters composed of alternating sections of dark reddish-brown marble with lighter veins and broader panels of light brown/gold marble with intricate, darker patterns. Above the niche, the architectural elements continue with horizontal bands of white marble with grey veins, followed by darker reddish-brown marble, and further light brown/gold marble, all showcasing polished, variegated surfaces. The scene is devoid of any individuals.
