Sol (the Sun) Sol (The Sun), Sol holds one with his left hand head resting hollow pipe. With his right hand resting on his hip, he holds a staff. It stands on a wide pedestal, raised at the rear. The lion stands on this raised part. Water once spouted from the lion's mouth, which was led from the pedestal through the left front leg to the mouth. A channel probably also runs through Sol's right leg to the tube on his head. It appears to be sealed in the pedestal., Johan Gregor van der Schardt, Italy, c. 1570 - c. 1581, bronze (metal), founding, h 45.7 cm × w 21.0 cm × d 13.0 cm
