This cheerful painted lion’s head was carved in the round, as one piece with one of the squared corner supports of a bed.  The lion’s slightly untidy mane and rough fur were painted in black and red on a white background.  Perhaps intentionally, the pattern resembles feathers, and might have associated this lion with the goddess Isis, who is frequently depicted winged, and can be shown as a maned lion. The legs are rather rudimentary, but the feet and toes are clearly distinguished with black paint suggesting the claws.
