A Lion Mask at The Barber Institute, Birmingham

Title
A Lion Mask


Artist
Unknown, probably from Tuscany


Date
13th century


Medium
Marble



The mask originally formed the head of a fountain, possibly for a public drinking supply. Water would have come out of the lion's mouth where there are some mineral deposits. The contrasting ways in which the sculptor has used a drill for the lion's mane and chisels for the smoother texture of the face typify the high quality of the carving.
