Remarks: Lion head antefix with almost circular cover tile attached. Face of lion is almost human. Short mane with round ears inserted at right and left. Oval, open eyes, frowning forehead and eyebrows, giving it almost a human expression. Mouth is elongated and half-closed, with part of the tongue pendent between the 2 front paws. Probably a later repair of the earlier antefixes(?).
