The lion is depicted in a dynamic, semi-reclining position, with its hindquarters and head raised, clutching in its mouth the snake it has just caught, which coils to form a receptacle designed to hold a candle. The sculpture rests on a rectangular base made of natural malachite.

Micro-scratches on the bronze.
5 small cracks in the bronze on the tail.
