Relief Panel with Lion Family, ca. 800–1000, Made in South or Central Campania, Italy, South Italian, Stone, Overall: 32 x 60 x 4 in. ( x x cm), Sculpture-Architectural, The marble for this relief panel probably came from a Roman sarcophagus. The slab was recarved and reused during the early Middle Ages for a church in Nola, probably to be used as a choir screen. Lions are often used as symbols for Christ in Italy during this period, but the depiction of a family with a male, a female, and suckling cub is unique
