There is a pencil sketch version (08.124) in the Baker Collection, at the Royal Asiatic Society. There are pencil annotations throughout the page. Below the image: "An anomalous lion. Or Sinha." Above the image: "G. Prauw. Java No. 6. Tuesday 19 Sept. GPB." On the left of the image are some measurements (illegible).
-
Associated notes in the volume state that it is a curious lion found in front of the first temple on the west side of Dieng, meaning, most likely, either the Bima complex or the Arjuna complex.
