Power in Poise: The Mystery of the Guennol Lioness
Over 5,000 years ago, in the cradle of civilization—ancient Mesopotamia—a small but extraordinary figure was sculpted from limestone.

Barely taller than a modern coffee mug, yet radiating raw strength and grace, the sculpture stands as one of the most enigmatic masterpieces from the dawn of human culture.

The figurine is known for its depiction of a lioness with feminine curves but absence of male genitalia. Could it represent a sexless creature? Is it a testament of the times when gender didn’t really matter?

The sculpture was found near Baghdad and was the part of the Guennol Collection. It gained worldwide fame when it auctioned for $57 Million Dollars in an auction – at that time, the most expensive sculpture ever sold.

The replica honors the ancient icon of power and grace—capturing the essence of a civilization that gave birth to cities, myth, and meaning. The Guennol Lioness is more than an artifact—it is a silent witness to the beginnings of humanity’s story.
