Two halves
Say, do you have the other half of this amulet I have carried with me since I was a child? No? Ok, how about this lion's head?
Two halves of an ancient sculpture have been reunited for the first time in 2,500 years after an international search by a British academic. The stone image of a lion's head once formed the upper portion of a waterspout from the guttering, or sima, of the temple of San Biagio, in southern Italy.
