Crouching lion and lioness.
The lions were placed at the foot of the Monument as guardians of the tomb. There were perhaps originally four, one at each corner. The style of the sculptures appears earlier than that of the Momument itself. They may be reused from some previous tomb decoration, or are perhaps contemporary with the Nereid Monument in southern Turkey, bet deliberately archaising.
