Albani lion
The Albani lion is a 1st-century Roman green basalt lion statue with a yellow marble sphere under one paw, in the Albani Collection in the Denon Wing of the Louvre (inventory number Ma 1355) in Paris, France.

The Albani lion is possibly a reproduction of an earlier Greek bronze statue, as basalt was used in the 1st century AD for reproductions of Greek bronzes.
