Assyrian Lion

A vibrantly-colored print of a yellow female lion facing left, raised up on her two front legs with the back legs dragging behind her. The lion has three arrows in the back and pool of blood under the abdomen. In the background is a dark, three-tier tower with cracks in its walls, orange and yellow flames, and a cloud of gray smoke. The tower is leaning about 45 degrees to the right.
