Artist, American, 1895 - 1978

The sculpture is of a lion's head made from stone. The color is a natural stone gray. The lion's features are stylized and abstract with smooth, rounded contours and minimal detail. The mane is suggested by soft, rounded lines. The sculpture is a fragment, showing only the head without any part of the body attached. The lion's expression is neutral with slightly parted lips. The surface appears worn down, giving it a soft appearance.
