EDITORS COMMENTS
This limestone sculpture, known as the Tomb Lion of Corinth, dates back to the 6th century BC and is a striking example of ancient Greek art. Discovered in Corinth, Greece, this archaic masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, Europe. The lion, a symbol of power and strength in ancient civilizations, is believed to have guarded a tomb during the Archaic period. With its mane flowing in the wind and its muscular body poised in a lifelike stance, the lion appears ready to protect the sacred burial site. The intricate details of the sculpture, from the individual hairs on its mane to the veins on its paws, showcase the advanced skills of the Greek sculptors of the time. The Tomb Lion of Corinth is not only a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Greece but also a reminder of the fascinating history that connects Europe and its diverse civilizations.
