Further ascending the rock, you come to a terrace where a huge
crouching lion made of bricks sat on the terrace. In between
the lion feet is a flight of stairs that went thru the lion
mouth. Unfortunately, the lion had areadly collasped but the
peom on the mirror wall describing lion must have been very
impressive
"Having climbed Sigiriya to have a look
I was contented just seeing His Lordship the Lion
After that I had no interest to see
The golden-eyed ones on the cliff"
Where the lion head once stood
like the spinix in cleopatra
