Beeldbeschrijving
The image shows a woman sitting with her body slightly turned to the side and her head facing downward. She has long, wavy hair, a helmet on her head, and is wearing a draped garment. Her right arm rests on a plinth with a cylindrical object, and her left hand holds a leafy branch. Next to her lies a lion. The background is a solid color.
