Summary

[edit]
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 each 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.
