 Red granite lion of Amenhotep III
Originally from the Temple of Soleb in Nubia, the lions acted as guardian figures before a temple built by Amenhotep III (1390-1352 BC), an elaborate monument to the cult of the king as a deified 'lord of Nubia', embodied by the lion.
In the third century BC the Meroitic ruler Amanislo moved the lions south to his city of Gebel Barkal and engraved his names on them.
Unlike the traditional pose of the lion or sphinx, which lies straight with its paws out in front of its body, these lions are depicted naturalistically, lying on their sides with forepaws crossed.
