Lion’s Monument, De Ma’an Governorate, Jordan
A fountain in the shape of a lion carved into sandstone. Unfortunately the head is missing now, but you can see where the water once flowed.
Located at a small square on the way downward the slope, approx. 4 meters width. A water channel on top of the lion’s head indicates that it has been a fountain figure. In the Nabataean cult the lion is related to the goddess Al-Uzza.
