This is one of a pair of lions. The sculpture is carved from red granite, with each lion measuring approximately 1.20 meters in height and 2.20 meters in length. The sculpture is from the Sulib Temple in Nubia, which was built by King Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty. Later in the third century AD, it was transferred to Gebel Barkal in Sudan by King Amanislo of the Meroe Kingdom. In the early 19th century, Lord Prudhoe took the lions from Gebel Barkal and handed them over to the British Museum in 1835.
