Description

Exclusive to the British Museum, a replica of an Assyrian lion-shaped weight. Crafted from resin, this replica has been cast from a mould of the extraordinary 9th-8th century BC original which was found in northern Iraq. Featuring amazing detailing around the mane and claws, the original snarling lion would have been used as a weight on scales, and examples of Assyrian lion weights such as this have been found in various weights. An extraordinary gift inspired by the Assyrian galleries." (Source: British Museum Shop)
