View of the rear haunches of a beautifully carved basalt column base brought to light during the excavations of Robert Braidwood at Tell Tayinat.  A large cedar column would have been placed on top of this base.

Note the details of the mane, ear, legs, and the tails of these creatures.

This column base is on display in the archaeological museum in Antakya.
