The original lions were carved in 1792 by the Italian sculptor, Antonio Canova (1757-1822) for the monumental tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St Peter's Basilica in Rome. The lions are crouching at the base of the tomb: one vigilant, the other sleeping.Marble dust is combined with cement or synthetic resins to make reconstituted or cultured marble. The appearance of marble can be simulated with faux marbling, a painting technique that imitates the stone's colour patterns.
