"A Roman Marble Feline Paw - Roman Period"

Marble feline paw - Roman period
around the 2nd century AD

Probably the corner of a sarcophagus or the foot of a table, this feline paw presents all the classic characteristics of feline paws in ancient statuary: extended claws, prominent tendons and knotty joints.
Our example is interesting for the finesse of its sculpture and its size.
