This relief came from a screen that separated the clergy's seating area from the choir in the Siena Cathedral. The lion and cub are a symbol of Christ's resurrection, as it was believed that cubs were born dead and revived at the touch of a parent's breath. The relief is surrounded by a strip of uncarved marble on which the decoration has been effaced. It consists of two carved rectangles divided in the centre by a flat raised strip flanked by vine leaves. A female head is in the rectangle on the left, a lion and cub in the rectangle on the right. From the workshop of Nicola Pisano, about 1272
