Focus on Traditional Chinese Lions (Indianapolis Zoo) and explore the Condition.
The Traditional Chinese Lions were surveyed in December 1992, as part of the Indiana Survey for the Smithsonian Institution's Save Outdoor Sculpture initiative. At the time their condition was described as, "treatment urgent." A September 2009 evaluation found the sculptures to be in poor condition, with multiple large cracks and numerous smaller fractures throughout, as well as repaired losses in the marble.
