Events
The reclining stone lion resting in front of the retirement home was probably an element of funerary art once. The statue of the lion as the protector of the deceased probably stood on top of a tombstone or in front of a necropolis entrance. In eastern beliefs, the lion symbolized the joy for life, destroyed evil and ensured new life after death. This item was probably made by a local master stonemason who lived in the late 2nd or in the 3rd century.
