Wall painting fragment with lion

This square fragment shows a floating lion on a bright, gold ground. The lion faces right in a 3/4 profile and turns his head to look over the right shoulder. A thin ribbon encircles his neck with the two ends billowing behind his head. Though the white paint used to delineate the animal is partly worn, attention to detail is visible in the carefully highlighted paws.
