Marble analysis, 4793
Water spout in the shape of a lion's head
Cream limestone
Limestone origin: Rhodes (Greece)
Microfacies: biosparite
Bioclasts: shell fragments of molluscs and red algae fragments
When the artefact was made in the country of its discovery locality, the importation of this limestone is not realistic as the subsoil of Rhodes contains such rocks.
