These intricate lion head appliqués offer a glimpse into the ancient artistry and symbolism of Khuzistan (Susiana). They are embodying the cultural reverence for lions as symbols of power and protection. These omphaloi could have been used as furniture decoration or on top of a religious staff or sceptre. The lion heads are common in Neo-Elamite art. The heads of our lions find good parallels with a gold bracelet with lion-head terminals from the Jubaji tomb (Wicks, pl.8). -
