Section of a Coffin Platform: Feline
A rectangular gray limestone slab carries a low relief of a snarling feline, its open jaws and curled mane rendered in sharp, crisp carving. Sinuous cloud scrolls and a lotus-like band of petals frame the animal, which stretches diagonally across the stone.
Look closer: Small carved cloud scrolls and tendrils fill the lower corners around the feline's paws.
