Summary

Description

Animal carvings on stair rail corners. There is one normal male lion, but the rest appear to have the body of a starving feral dog, and the head, feet and tail of a lioness. Apart from the male lion which appears to stand guard, they are all behaving playfully, like lion cubs. They were carved in one piece with the marble stair rail, by a team led by John Wormald Appleyard.

These carvings are inside the former Municipal Buildings (now the Central Library), Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, built 1879-1884 to the design of George Corson.
