Lion of Kea
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Lion of Kea is the name of a colossal archaic sculpture of a guardian lion, chiselled from a single block of local limestone, probably in the 6th century BC, on the island of Kea, Greece, when the island’s name was Cheos.
Almost nothing else is known about this 9 m long sculpture, which even today stands in situ near the island’s village of Ioulida.
