Stone Winged Lion with Book

A stone winged lion with a paw on an open book sits above a carved memorial plaque on a building façade. The sculpture is dark gray with streaks of green moss and black staining, lit by soft daylight against a pale beige wall and photographed from a low angle. The worn inscription reading "RICORDI DELLA EROICA RESISTENZA DI VENEZIA" is visible on the plaque below.
