Cramond Lioness

The sculpture, one of the most important Roman finds in Scotland for decades, was discovered by ferryman Robert Graham.

The upper torso and head of the prisoner are shown, with the giant lioness behind him, sinking her teeth into his skull.

It is a large sculpture carved from a single block of stone.
